Butterflies!
The annual butterfly exhibit is back at the American Museum of Natural History. Last time around I used my Nikkor-S 50mm f/1.4 non-ai and got this gem.
Thanks to having a D700, I was able to bring my Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/4 AIS today which I wasn’t able to do before. The lens is slow for the butterfly exhibit’s lighting, and older cameras’ high ISO performance wasn’t good enough without flash.
ISO 2000 @f/8
ISO 1250 @f/4
ISO 640 @f/4
butterly in your hand
Dear Tai Shinizu,
Thank you for publishing those beautiful photos! I especially love the one with a butterfly in someone’s hand. Do you think I could use it as an illustration in one of my teaching materials? Please let me know at egret@centrum.cz. Thank you very much for your time and wish you a lot of joy with your camera. With a sincere aloha, Lenka.
