A butterfly takes a rest (part two)

I’ve fulfilled an ambition of mine and managed to take a picture of a butterfly resting with its wings open.

Inspired by a photograph I took a few weeks ago, I went out to take a picture pf a butterfly with its wings open. It was difficult, but I succeeded!

I was inspired to try and get a shot of a butterfly resting in this position following the reaction to this image, which I took a few weeks ago. I got so many positive comments on social media that I simply had to head out to the same patch of meadow to see if I could improve on it. As I’ve said, this time my aim to was to get a snap while the butterfly rested with its wings open.

My eldest daughter came with me. She had her camera and together we took loads of shots of flowers, plants and butterflies.

Butterflies make for magnificent photographic subjects, but they move very, very fast. It’s not easy to get an image of them and this was the only usable pic I got.

I hope you like this image, which I have linked to the magnificent #MySundayPhoto linky hosted by the Photalife.com blog. It’s one of my favourite blogging linkies and I highly recommend clicking on the badge below to see some superb photography taken by other bloggers.

    1. I can tell you Tara I was thrilled and very surprised. It took a lot of patience to finally capture this image.

  1. Hi John, you’ve done yourself proud! That is an excellent photo. Such pretty wings, even though it;s not the most colourful butterfly. It stands out nicely against the green background too.

    1. Thanks Debbie. It took a lot of patience to find a butterfly that obliged but I got there in the end!

  2. It’s one of the hardest things ever to take a shot of an outstretched butterfly like that (if that’s the right word :). Fantastically caught!

  3. John, I always look forward to finding you photo of the week. It’s like travelling on a journey of photography development. It is incredibly inspiring, esp for an old tog like me to get back to it. Wonderful sitting shot. Looking forward to seeing tomorrow’s. #mysundayphoto

    1. Martyn, that’s possibly the nicest comment anyone has ever left on my blog. When I read it, I confess you left me slightly moist eyed! Means a lot to read something like that. Glad you like my images. Such wonderful feedback.
