Macro sooc #23

IMG_0512


This is the same deceased butterfly I shared recently. I was able to pose him on the plant and take a quick pic.  Then I lengthened the exposure and we're able to see the hairs on his wings.  The wind was blowing mightily so we can see more of the flower in the first shot, and I did move slightly, but close to the same view.

  1. Great pictures! That wind is always tricky when you're trying to get up close like that.

  2. Very, very nice Lisa! May I ask if by exposure you mean shutter speed?

  3. It's so facinating to look at their faces in macro. You've captured so much detail of the eyes and I can see his "tongue" all curled up. Wonderful!

  4. These are great! I was going to try your technique with a dead ladybug but the wind blew it away before I could get the shot.

  6. Very, very unique and such great details! I guess one advantage of the dead butterfly is he can't move lol!!!

  9. Those are great pics! Dead subjects are so cooperative, aren't they? Next time you could try bringing part of the plant indoors for him to sit on, then you won't have the wind. You did a lovely job despite the wind though!
