Giant Swallowtail ❤
Happy bokeh Wednesday, everyone!
It is a miracle that I was able to take such clear shot of this Giant Swallowtail butterfly yesterday. Prior to this I was taking some images of the plumeria flowers in the blinding sun with shutter speed set to 1/2000. Once I noticed this butterfly on the neighboring bush in the shade I had no time to adjust the settings on my manual lens. Butterfly was flapping its wings super fast and I only had a chance to take 4 images. Unsurprisingly, they all came out pretty dark and seeing them on the camera screen I thought that they all are no good, but once I viewed on the computer screen and adjusted the exposure a little bit, one image turned out pretty great. Actually, if not for 1/2000 shutter speed, i do not believe I would be able to take a sharp image of such fast moving subject, so in the end, it all worked out.
Also, I have not used Helios for 2 months. It was nice to take it out yesterday. :-)
