Photographing Butterflies

Photography butterflies requires patience while waiting for the right opportunity comes along, go to your camera ready, sit back and enjoy the beautiful flowers until it does. Once you have your garden in bloom, attracting butterflies is the best place, in my opinion, to capture images. And 'comfortable, away from the hustle and butterflies I feel comfortable with your presence, after a short period of time are known to say anything bad so few inches away from the mediathem. Nature parks are also places to get good shots of butterflies and so are butterfly gardens, usually have a variety of styles from around the world.

The equipment they use is only a digital camera. The two most important features of a camera to photograph a butterfly, the subject has a high optical zoom to be confused (not digital zoom - in my opinion, digital zoom and picture quality) and the macro mode ( with macro mode, you can clearly with a focus onLenses a few inches away from the subject). Both features allow you to close your strong subject and the background is blurred, so that distractions in order to draw the attention of attractive designs and colors of the butterfly.

When photographing butterflies, to be creative and bring images to life. With different perspectives. Shoot from the front, side and rear of the subject. Shoot Shoot at eye level or try to top. Catching butterflies in different poses. Shoot ifor in flight with wings. Experiment. If the camera has manual controls, motion blur and use a fast shutter speed to freeze the slow shutter speed. If you set the shutter speed, the more light in your picture, faster speed. If the occasion allows, look at your subject and background accurately through the viewfinder before the jump. Sometimes you just move the lens will make a big difference in some way the image is transformed intoout.

Lighting is another way to bring images to life. The best time to turn the day when the sun is not hard, not like in the early morning and evening, but this prevents you from turning into a sunny afternoon, but. Try a photo with the sun behind the subject. This is a beautiful silhouette look to give your image. Lightning can be a performance or two, but I do not use. I feel natural light is the best!

Practice makes perfect. Take a lot ofimages. More than half will be deleted by me (great thing about digital cameras). If you're a butterfly in the distance on the ground, I suggest you take a picture in which step a little 'closer (slowly and quietly), take another picture and so on, until you find the perfect foreground or the butterfly fly on. A lot of times to obtain the first image to take to cut may be good enough. It is not a full size, but will always remember.
