Gulf Frittilary I 9010by *Eolhin

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Invertebrates

This is a digital photograph of a Gulf Frittilary butterfly (Agraulis vanillae).

~kythsharra Sep 29, 2007

I like the spots, the way they match on both sides. It's definitely a vibrant butterfly.

*Eolhin Sep 30, 2007 General Artist

Yes, I like the symmetry as well.

~Kimantha333 Sep 17, 2007

Such a vibrant orange

Pretty name too.

*Eolhin Sep 18, 2007 General Artist

Thank you.

I think this was the only good shot of this kind of butterfly that I got.

~Kimantha333 Sep 18, 2007

Well... what is it they say? That a photographer has to take a million shots and if only one is good then they did a great job at it

*Eolhin Sep 19, 2007 General Artist

Well, there was only one of this kind of butterfly, that I could see, and it liked to fly up out of reach, so I only got two shots of it at all total. *L* I am just glad that one of them came out.

~Kimantha333 Sep 19, 2007

Well thats really good. I have to take about 6 shots for even a stationary critter for one to come out

*Eolhin Sep 19, 2007 General Artist

Well, it depends a lot on circumstances. *L* With some things, I have taken 20 shots, just to get one good one. Or taken 50, and had not one come out good (lightning is darn hard to catch...).

~Kimantha333 Sep 20, 2007

Thats very true. And I don't think I even want to try capturing lightning, though I wish you all the luck in the world. I'll just continue frustrating myself with fish and lizards and leave all the good professional stuff to you

*Eolhin Sep 22, 2007 General Artist

Meh, I haven't had the energy to try lightning again the few storms that we have had this Summer. I just envy the lightning shots of others. *L* Lizards might be fun though.
