"Flying Flowers." Photographing Butterflies

Published by:  Apogee Photo
Tutorial Preview:

I once heard butterflies referred to as “flying flowers.” I don’t know who coined that description, but it’s accurate. The delicate little bugs are as beautiful and colorful as flowers, and they can fly. My first experience attempting to photograph a butterfly was funny enough to be on America’s Funniest Videos.

I was in Florida at Natural Bridge State Park, when I spotted a beautiful black butterfly with blue highlights resting atop a flowering weed. I approached it hurriedly and tried to set up as close as I could to take the shot. The heat was awful. Just as I was almost ready, the little bug departed to another flower several feet away. This scene repeated itself over and over, so many times that I became exhausted. At some point, I just shot as fast as I could and stopped trying to catch a good angle, etc. With my tongue hanging out, I dragged my camera and tripod back to my car.
