Rice Paper Butterfly




We’re just back from a couple of days’ museum hopping in Houston. One of the museums we visited was the fantastic Houston Museum of Natural Science and it’s Cockerell Butterfly Center. I took the camera specifically for the chance to get some great butterfly macros but, on arriving, realised that I had forgotten to pack my extension tubes thus spoiling my plan. In the end, I only took a couple of dozen exposures and here’s my favourite. This shows a Rice Paper Butterfly in front of a display of Christmas lights.

For the technically inclined...

  • Aperture: ƒ/5.6
  • Camera: NIKON D810
  • Focal length: 300mm
  • ISO: 2200
  • Shutter speed: 1/180s
