We’ve seen very few butterflies this season, and when I have seen them I haven’t had a camera with me. Today, however, I was able to capture the one butterfly that was on the buddleia. It was a brown Eastern Tiger Swallowtail…

Looks like it is quite impressive both in size as well as appearance, Deb?

It’s a large butterfly, and depending on the light it can look black rather than brown.

How did you get the butterfly to hold still? That has always been my problem when photographing insets up close. They see the camera and vamos!

I use a telephoto lens and stand far away. 🙂 And using the automatic focus rather than manual focus helps, too.
