Best of the Day, Pt. 3 - _TNY_1314
Early May (of 2025) visit to the Haga Ocean butterfly house and this pink rose (Pachliopta kotzebuea), also known as the velvet rose, was probably the best catch of the day. It sat sort of semi-hidden in the shadows under a leaf, but since I use a tripod to shoot these, it was possible to just extend the shutter time (this was a 3 second shutter time) to get enough light in to the sesor to get it exposed properly anyways.
Since it was so hidden, I had the pleasure of telling a bunch of other visitors about it as they would otherwise have missed it.

Part 2 is preety much the same angle as this - but I held a leaf in the foreground away while taking the shot here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/54552213335/
