Photo with a Story

This image was hand held with ONE hand. I had to use my other hand. to balance myself to keep from falling over.

To get a perspective on a different butterfly, I had been laying on the ground when this guy landed on my leg. So to try to get a focus on the unexpected butterfly walking along my leg, I was only able to partially sit up. Too sudden of a movement would have spooked it off. To those around me, I probably looked like a contortionist while I was capturing this image.

Shots like this are fun when you manage to nail them. They have a story with a memory. This lens has no IS. But I still love it.
