Black Swallowtail In Flight — Image by kenne
As we move more into spring, many butterflies are flying and being recorded by many naturalists. However, trying to photograph them can be difficult. It’s as if each butterfly is trying out his wings by flittering around without stopping. As I started to get frustrated watching them flying around, I decided to try photographing them in flight, which can be tricky not always knowing what the automatic-focus would focus on when zooming in on the butterfly. These two photos represent my best tries. Admittedly, if I was staying in one place and not out hiking, I might have better results.
