Blue Morpho

[DigitalScape]

Blue Morpho - an interesting name for a butterfly, but aptly named. The first image is the butterfly with the wings closed, and the second is with the wings open - I guess you can see why it was named as such.

These image were taken at the Fort Worth Botanical Garden's butterfly exhibit (going on until 04 Apr 10). All C&C is welcomed and appreciated.

just a comment - the detailing on the forewing in #1 is excellent. which lens for this?

 

[DigitalScape]

Thank You. The lens used was the Canon 180mm f/3.5L macro lens. I was using flash at -3ev as fill.

Seems like I just saw these over on another board. Oh wait, I did. Compliments again.

LOL, Tom. I troll through several forums. You never know what you might come across.

Me too John, I run through 7 different boards. Some more than others but usually get by all of them at least once a week.
