Well, we had a casualty today
My daughter has been trying all summer to catch a REAL beautiful butterfly (rather than a moth) and she finally caught one... Unfortunately, it was under the wrong circumstances. My son (her little bother, typo on purpose lol) accidentally ran the butterfly over on his bike. Butterfly's wings were torn a little, and some of her legs weren't functioning
So we brought Butterfly in and took some pictures of her (at this point she is still alive, but can't walk, stand, or fly) and then laid her to rest in one of my mom's flower gardens. Here's the best of the set (not perfect, I know). I had a hard time nailing the focus and exposure. If anyone has suggestions for nailing focus on a macro shot, I'm open LOL
Handheld
ISO 400
f/13 (because I wanted the whole thing in focus, wasn't looking for a shallow DOF)
1/80 SS
Shot with Sigma 70-300 f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro (which is also for sale, $200)
