Common Buckeye face photo. - 12-02-2009, 07:07 AM


I made this a few weeks ago in the little prairie area at BBSP. This was as close as I could get to this little butterfly without putting on a tube. It's fun to find them cold and covered with dew because they can't get away and you can get really close and work on them. Made with D80, Nikkor AF 105/2.8D on a tripod. Exif in place.

I like this shot, Jim. Has a whimsical feel to it. Excellent focus and I like the sidelighting.

Excellent, Jim. As Kenny noted, spot on lighting and focus (great details).

Love the dew drops! I know someday I'll get my butt out of bed to try and get some dew-dropped critters.
