2007.01.26: Penang, Malaysia: Butterflies

We took a break from my grand mother's burial procedings and did some sightseeing. I was caught in Penang's famous butterfly conservatory without any lens but the 17-55/2.8 DX Nikkor. All images in this entry shot with the D2X and that zoom, wide open.

A clump of butterflies just hanging out. With wings spread open each is about the size of my palm . . . and I have big hands.

This butterfly's little brother (or sister) hitched a ride on my shoulder and followed me out of the sanctuary. I asked it if it wanted to get off and I lowered my shoulder down near a stem where it could hop off but it hung around. Once outside it flew away and left me with a puddle of wet butterfly poopie on my shirt.

The red in this flower pushed the limitations of the gamut of my camera . . . and of every normal desktop monitor. The difference is dramatic. If you wish to see more of this photo's original colour you are welcome to drop by my studio to view it on my display or as a print.
