Monarch Migration
October 1, 2010
I know that this photo looks more like Spring than Autumn, but I promise it was taken today!
- Aperture: ƒ/5.6
- Camera: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi
- Focal length: 105mm
- Shutter speed: 1/250s
One family's glimpse into the greatest season
I love it! So, how close were you from them? I’m guessing you were using your big ‘ole zoom?
LOL…you would guess right (I was using my Canon EF70-300mm,) but I was still only standing about 5-7 feet from them.
I didn’t think that I was going to get any shots today because my camera wasn’t wanting to focus and the first time I put that lens on, it wouldn’t do a single thing, but then it just seemed to work itself out…scary though!!! I do NOT want my camera to break!!!
Gorgeous!
OH MY GOSH!!! that’s an amazing photo!!!!!!! : ) the contrast of colors with the orange and purple–lovely!! and the butterflies in flight– way cool capture! (are those viceroy butterflies? or maybe queen butterflies?)
oh, just saw that you put monarchs… thought they looked a little different but those are all in the same family.
LOVE THIS!!
I think you need to post more than this one. I know you posted some on facebook, but I think you should put some others up here! They’re awesome!
THE MONARCHS ARE MOVING THROUGH!!! YIPPEE!!!
I should have probably put up a more fall-ish looking version, but this was my favorite and I am going to stick to one photo per day.
Very nice! And if it was taken today than it is very fall-ish. After all we need to be able to see the change through the pictures.
I really like that pic it is gorgeos!!!!!!!!!!!
