I missed the Edmonton Photowalk last weekend because we had to be in Calgary, but I did get a chance to get out to the Zoo. One of the new (I think) exhibits is a Butterfly conservatory. Filled with all manner of fluttering color, it was quite the place to stretch one’s photographic chops. I spotted these two and started shooting and instantly gained an appreciation of how fast butterflies can move their wings – just as fast as bees (perhaps it has something to do with the hover). My big challenge was that I had to be able to trust my shot beyond what it showed on the review screen.
Karmically, butterflies must be flapping their wings as there seem to be all manner of changes afoot, I just have to wait and see how things work out.
