Swallowtail Close Up

Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England

Papilio demoleus

Blenheim Palace has an area called the Pleasure Garden that features a maze, miniature buildings and a butterfly house, among other things. We went in the butterfly house to get out of the rain. This was taken hand held using the TG-4's focus stacking mode which takes 10 exposures at different focuses and merges them in camera. They don't always come out this good, especially on a subject where you cannot brace your hands or the subject is moving or whatever. Sometimes, like here, they come out great.

To get one in the natural environment in Britain is fairly difficult as they only have a few hotspots. They are more widespread in continental Europe.
