From a Stable Platform - _TNY_1597
Shooting butterflies indoors in natural light (due to flash use being prohibited) makes getting sharp and clear shots more difficult.
Shooting with a tripod (I use a Benro A2970T w/ a Giottos MH1301 head) negates some of these issues however and when the butterfly allows you to come in as close as this Achilles blue morpho (Morpho achilles) did on an mid-January visit to the Haga Ocean Butterfly House in Solna, Sweden, well then you can capture pretty darn nice details with the longer shutter speeds becoming available with the tripod - this is at .5 seconds.
