I have spent a good part of today photographing a dead butterfly. I thought I could get some macro practice on something that wouldn’t run away. Apparently, I need a lot more practice. They didn’t come out well at all. Still, I think Gobby here has something to say.

Wonderful image Alastair. I had never thought to practice macro photography on something that would not move. š
I hadn’t until I found it. I need to do a lot more work though. Maybe when my flash guns turn up, I can do better
Pingback: A Photo A Day … June 19 2013 | Alastair's Blog
Congratulations! Exceptional photography, Alastair! You’re lucky twice, once to catch… once to your patience!
I hope you have a wonderful evening, Alastair! š
Thanks Stefania š
Have a great evening
Excellent photography my friend! A gorgeous one, Alastair! š
Thank you Penny. I am exceptionally proud of this one. I think it is my best one.
I agree with you, but then again thinking about it, you have quite a few “bests” that I’ve seen Alastair! š
:blush: Thank you Penny. I don’t know what to say to that.
š
Is that you, when you are angry?? laugh š
Have a good day Alastair beautiful photo š
Haha Thanks Gys š No idea why a lot of comments are coming up pending now
I think it’s because I change my email address š
Ah I see. That is probably what it is then
Very Beautiful.Great shot.
Thanks Praveena
Hey, the like button just worked on your blog, maybe my problem is fixed. Or maybe you’re just that awesome that the like button refuses to deny you lol
Haha. Probably fixed. I’m just the most awesome creature on this planet. š š
š š
lol
I think it is just fine, Alastair
Thanks Celestine.
That guy’s got some range on him. That’s almost a 60 degree angle. š
Definitely gobby š
This is a brilliant picture, you could put a caption underneath or a speech bubble on him. š
Hehe I might do a “Caption this” with the best being made š
Thanks Ute. How’s everything going for you?
Fine, thanks, weather could be better…… I am not complaining, got a summer dress on today…. probably the only day of the week… š
We have a thunderstorm down here this morning. Wonderful to see it over the sea.
Yay for the summer dress
Um, why is yelling at me? He’s cute, and this a great, great shot, but really, there’s no need to yell at me š
I love this shot!
lol Thank you Amber š That’s why I called him gobby
Yes, Gobby can tone it down š He’s too sweet to yelling like such
It was perfect to photograph him š
š It is! I love it!
š
Haha! Now don’t do it Again!! Lol
:). Hugs Paula xxx
hehe Thank you Paula š
Gobby is angry that you prevented access to the dead butterfly. Great shot!
Hahah yes. Thanks John
Great shot Alastair! He’s really quite lovely, isn’t he.
Thanks Lyn š He is
He is apparently shouting at someone or he could be very hungry. fabulous shot
Mine! mine!mine! mine! hehe
Of course, that’s all yours:)
Haha. It was what seagulls did in Finding Nemo š
Did not watch the movie. just read about it though. Looks like a fun movie
It was amusing š
I think he wants chips š great shot there Alastair.
Haha š Thanks
They really need a love button for your posts! This guy is somethin’ else. I think he’s yippin’ about you spending time on dead butterflies. He wants all cameras & eyes on him š
Haha š
Gobby’s image is spectacular! Great work Alstair š Could be the cover of a greeting card or even a book! xrl
Thank you Robyn š
Incredible!! Truly. It is just perfect.
Thank you. I am very happy with this one
This is mind blowing Alastair, I love it!!!! I really do!! Give yourself a break and tell YOU how good you are! And send my love to your daughter on her birthday tomorrow? Have a blessed night rest.

Thanks š
I guess you will get the hang of macros soon š took me ages to get a lens setup that I was actually comfortable with.
Stunning photo… outstanding!
