    Summer of the butterflies (more pics #20)

    This year, there seem to be tons of butterflies outside, much more than usual!

    During my lunchbreak, I had the chance today to take some pictures of a few of them:









    Thought you may enjoy these beautiful animals!

    Wow! Just remarkable photography. The butterfly's wings (in the first and last pictures especially) look like stained glass.

    Beautiful, Kirsten!

    I'm going to forward to my mom - she raises and releases butterflies here in Florida.

    Beautiful! What type of camera do you have again? Isn't it just amazing when you look at all of the colors and patterns in a butterfly?

    Awesome bug photography! What kind of camera do you use, macro filter lenses or just on macro mode?

    Just gorgeous! (Butterflies AND photographs.)

    Thank you!

    Sure, no problem!

    What type of camera do you have again?
    Nothing special, a Canon Powershot S5.

    macro filter lenses or just on macro mode?
    The S5 comes with a super macro mode which is pretty good, but I did not use it for these pics (the butterflies would never have let me come that close). I took the pics from a distance of maybe one and a half metres and used my 12x optical zoom. If you manage to focus on the butterflies (which can be tricky), you'll get a clear and sharp picture of them.

    I'm going to forward to my mom - she raises and releases butterflies here in Florida.
    Wow!! What a wonderful thing is that?!

    Very pretty!!

    There have been a lot more here locally too. A couple of summers ago, you barely saw one, and now I see at least 3 a day.
