Courtship

Two Yellow Tiger Swallowtails in a courtship above my lawn.

I had to spend quite some time chasing them hoping that both of them will be in focus.

Nikon D7000, high ISO, high speed, handheld.

Thank you for your comments.

Even though they are not in focus, I would consider this a fun shot. I can see you chasing them all over the hillside!

Looks like you did get one in focus, and this was definitely not an easy shot to get. I think I might try cropping down from the top to about halfway down the tree foliage.

Chasing butterflies sounds like a fun way to spend a nice day outside. However, flying critters are sure difficult to get in focus though, especially two of them. . . so maybe, on second thought, you weren't having much fun. A video of YOU doing this would be interesting to see. :wink: We do appreciate all your efforts, Andrey. :smile: This is a pleasant summer scene to view.
