I know that feeling... all that chasing paid off though.

Very pretty tiger Swallowtail, excellent detail, wonderful colours and pattern. Nice shallow D O F and splendid capture.

I took this picture in my yard. Was watching and waiting for the butterfly to land.

Time

It was early afternoon in Ohio.

Inspiration

I love taking pictures of anything in my yard or where ever else I can take photos.

Editing

None.

In my camera bag

Digital camera, extra batteries, tripod, lens cleaners.

Feedback

Take your time. Patience is all you need to get that special shot. Take several pictures of same subject. You never know until you look at them, so you can decide which one is better.
