Tiger Swallowtail Snaps


Spotted this fluttering around outside the sunroom windows yesterday while I was doing dishes. Of course I had to stop and grab my camera and try to get a few snaps. I used the tripod on the first one but I couldn't keep track of all that fluttering around quick enough so went hand holding on the second one. Was using the 70 - 300 and I have so much trouble holding it still, I sway all over the place.
It makes me feel a little drunk.
They aren't perfect if you look to close but I like how they turned out.
Pin It!

  1. These are wonderful shots, Nita. I can't ever seem to catch them with their wings open....about the time I press the shutter they close them up. This is one thing I'm so looking forward to doing during retirement...just dropping whatever I'm doing and grabbing the camera.
