"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity". -Martin Luther King Jr
Technique: I found this butterfly at the beginning of the day, a little more hungry than afraid of me. I held my finger close to the critter and waited for it to start eating the artificial nectar I had on my finger, then carefully coaxed it into climbing on. Took me three tries, and I was surprised that I pulled it off. Later in the day when the butterfly is casually feeding I don't think it would have worked.
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon EF-S 60mm macro lens with 25mm of extension + a diffused MT-24EX (flash head "A" set as the key and "B" as the fill, both on the Canon flash mount). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.

We were a few days in Sauerland. There I took many macro-shots.
Spotted my first butterfly of the year in the garden the other day- a Comma. It first landed on a bush but by the time I got my camera out it was sitting on the garden path - not the easiest position to get close to. Natural light

I haven't uploaded any thing to my Flickr page for months now, so I thought I should put up some photos I have taken at a recent visit to a butterfly farm.... Enjoy..
When I came home today I noticed a butterfly on the Verbena Bonariensis on the balcony. Quickly grabbed the camera and did not expect much of it. I did get a lot of opportunity because the butterfly couldn't resist these flowers. Sometimes it noticed me and pretended to leave, but it really was hiding and reappeared as soon as it thought the coast had cleared.

The Comma (Polygonia c-album) is a species of butterfly belonging to the family Nymphalidae. Its irregular wing edges are characteristic of the Polygonia genus, which is why they are commonly called anglewings. It is found in northern Africa and across Europe from Portugal through Asia as far as Japan. Its dorsal wings are colourful but its underside has a pattern that camouflages it when its wings are held together.
