Weekly Challenge 19:
Macro

Franklin, TN

Battus philenor (Pipevine Swallowtail)

This is for this week's Weekly Challenge 19: "Macro".
I thought I would add to the challenge by working up
close with the G10 (macro mode allows you to focus so
closely you are almost touching the subject). My take.

Canon PowerShot G10
1/200s f/2.8 at 6.1mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Butterflies are such a challenge to shoot. They never pose long enough for me. Great color and dof.
