Accidental butterfly

[crownlaurel]

We were at the Tennessee Aquarium and I was trying to get a picture of another butterfly. I was following it and trying to get a good closeup. Dh was getting impatient as he's not a bigg butterfly guy and he & kids were calling me to move on. The one I wanted flew away. I literally moved the camera and shot thinking I'd missed and this was the result. NOt too shabby for a P&S and especially for a shot I didn't intend to shoot.

This one was on purpose, just not as pretty...

Isn't an impatient family a nuisance !?!?
You want your time to compose and get your intented subjects land on where you are focused (if the subject is butterflies, for example ), and they shout and call and make you nervous! I understand so well.

Lucky you to still have got that first of the two photos shown here! That was a nice "accident", wasn't it?
The other is also quite impressive.

Either of these might want to go into cherrymoose's Photo Theme thread on "Nice Pictures Taken with a Point&Shoot" (?)
