Description
I was lucky to capture this beautiful butterfly the other night; while I was outside, the cat was chasing it and I didn't have my camera out there with me. So, I beg my boys to please grab my camera and bring it out, bag and all, since I couldn't remember which lens was on at the time. The boys were wrapped up in World of Warcraft - their online game. *sigh* Meanwhile, Boris is determined to claim it as her own. So, I told Boris NOT to touch my butterfly, and I ran upstairs as fast as I could, changed lens - and ran back out. By that time, luckily Boris had chased it up in the tree. (hence the name "Lucky") lol Dang kitty. She is my BAD ONE. :-) I tell her that all the time; of course in a loving tone. :)
I s'pose I didn't need to ramble so much. I could have just said, "... check out the butterfly I captured." :-|
Have a great day ... lol

I enjoy reading about the hoops other photographers jump through to get a picture. It helps to realize I am not the only one doing funny things to get a snap. So, rambling is good for me! Like your crop and the lighting on this one very much.

This high contrast butterfly is excellent material for the grungy textures. It was lucky indeed, dang Boris! Congratulations on the publication of your first tutorial! I hope it won't be the last.

Stellar shot of the b&w butterfly, Sharilyn. Lucky is right. It could also have been eaten by a wasp while still in the cocoon. And, bad kitty, bad!

Well, this is a lucky butterfly, but it seems to me YOU were the lucky one, considering two trips to get the cam and the right lens, and still you managed to get the shot! Very nice, Shari. :)
