Gulf Fritillary (Agraulis vanillae)

[jeffashman23 7]

I picked up the camera for the first time in a bit to get this set of shots. Almost blew it because I forgot to check the speed, which was at f/160, which with my essential tremors leaves a bit of motion blur in the image. None the less I was happy enough with these three shots out of about 55. And no, they don't taste like vanilla...

Thank you! Age might be slowly taking its toll, but "I'm not dead yet..." Just need to remember to check camera settings before shooting, not after.

Very nice set! I know from experience how hard it can be to get good angles on our fluttery friends. Great color, wingspan capture - and I appreciate how close you cropped these!

Thank you! Out of 55 odd shots very few turned out due my shakiness and the slow shutter, but I still managed to pull a few out, so I'm happy with them.

Great color and clarity! Beautiful photos!

Thank you!
