Steve Boer Photography

This photograph was actually taken last year, in a place called the Ministik Bird Sanctuary. I came across it in my archives yesterday and decided it could be worth sharing. It’s a Mourning Cloak Butterfly (nymphalis antiopa). I gave the photograph a 5×4 crop instead of leaving it at the usual 3×2, it just seemed to make a better composition that way.

Camera: Canon EOS T1i, Exposure Time: 1/100, Aperture: f/5.6, ISO: 100, Focal Length: 400mm
