Yet another shot from the Museum of Natural History's live butterfly exhibit in New York. The exhibit was held in an oversized terrarium with a single walking path through the center, which made it difficult to approach butterflies from desirable angles. The most challenging aspect of the environment was the light sources, which were largely low-hanging lights pointed downward. While this wasn't bad enough to impair the camera's autofocus system most of the time, it made getting decent shutter speeds without pushing the ISO very difficult.

This is the same butterfly (or perhaps just the same type of butterfly) as in the previous picture.

The Zuiko Digital 12-60mm SWD lens was used here, and the speed boost of the SWD motors likely came very much in use. I've previously posted some shots showing the capabilities of this lens in allowing me to capture a bee in flight, which was arguably more difficult than capturing this moderately-sized butterfly as it flapped around the flower. The low-lighting conditions proved to be a challenge, however, resulting in some slight blurring along the butterfly's wings. I suppose that if the wings had been perfectly frozen it would have just appeared as though the butterfly were sitting on the flower, though.

Shot with an Olympus E-520 with the Zuiko Digital 12-60mm SWD lens, hand-held with IS mode 1 enabled. This picture has been cropped by about 50%, and the maximum image resolution was further scaled down to 1600x1200 after cropping. This image was processed from RAW, with the following adjustments made: the saturation was boosted heavily; the exposure was lightly increased. Although it may have benefitted from it, the ISO was not pushed above 400 (which is the camera's highest without showing noise); any perceived noise in the picture is likely partly a result of the post-processing and the fact that no noise reduction was applied to this picture at all, whether in post or from the camera.
