All Aflutter

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted November 19, 2014100 views5 comments

In and out of focus, this Queen's "All Aflutter" with implied motion.
And with all the cold temps across the nation, I'm sticking with the b-flies for now. They harken back to those lazy days of summer, too quickly gone..
And we need a warm up right about now

F/11, 1/1250th, ISO 1250, 1D M3, 300mm f/2.8 + 1.4x ext.
Natural light @ 11:38am and clear. Approx. 80% of FF, and shot in a vertical orientation.

I agree with you about the needed warmth and this image has it in spades. I like the captured movement of the butterfly and the sweet light on the blossoms.

Beautiful lighting and resulting colors, Howard. The motion works for me, giving this one lots of energy to go with the pretty flowers.

Very nice, Howard! I like the motion blur, the lighting, and the beautiful colors. I agree about needing to warm up. We just broke the official record here for the coldest weather ever in November!

More of your cool zinniaz and butterflies, Howard! This one is nicely dynamic due to the bf's motion. Hey, I like the cold temps (at least a bit), they let me work on my ice abstracts...
