Description

Here is a picture I took while visiting a local butterfly conservatory (Guelph, Ontario). The image was created using a macro lens and monopod to help steady the shot. I bumped up the ISO so as to speed up the shutter speed again to ensure sharpness. This one of favourite butterfly shots even though from a technical perspective it is not my best. I love the explosion of colour in the image, the vibrant bight colours of the wings combined by the red flower. The image was processed in Lightroom and PS CC. During processing I darkened the background to again make the butterfly and flower catch the eye. There is a tremendous amount of detail in this image from the hair like structures on the flower to the subtle texture on the wings. The resulting image makes a perfect gift for a loved one or treat yourself and proudly hang it in your home or office. The image can be purchased as a print, canvas, metal, throw pillow or even as a greeting card. I hope you enjoy.
