(SkyWatch ~ one photo down)
This week I had the opportunity to head out, with camera in hand. I spent time playing with my aperture settings. I took distance shots with the background in focus and the foreground blurred, then changed my aperture and captured the same photo with a different aperture, completely changing the look of the photo. Due to my quest to capture some amazing photos, I had the chance to see a pool of starfish. A first for me. I took a chance on trying to capture some "out of reach" photos. I took a daytrip to visit a “never been to place”. My timing was perfect. Unknowingly, I chose the day of the arrival of the migrating butterflies. Never have I seen such a magical site as I did on this day. As I stood on the trail, in the marshland, 1000s of beautiful butterflies surrounded me. I learned several, life and photographic lessons this week.

So glad you were able to go out and play with your aperture! Isn't it amazing how changing your aperture and what you focus on can completely change a photo! This one is beautiful! The only thing I would have done differently was to take a step back so the petals weren't cut off. Other then that I love it!! Great DOF!!
P.S. love the Rule of thirds composition!! Well done!
That's a great shot. I've never been able to get a good shot of a butterfly.
Aperture is so critical to photography, as it controls depth of field, as well as reducing sharpness in digital cameras if it's closed down too much. I always leave my camera on aperture control as it's usually the most important piece to getting the effect I want.
Gorgeous photo and what luck to be able to practice with all the beautiful butterflies!
That is a beautiful butterfly, Trish. Its colors are gorgeous.
