Butterfly at the garden. My very first attempt at this type of photo.
Nikon d3000 wb set for direct sunlight ISO I think was 200 or 400, lens that came with the camera 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G
had it set for flower, AF on because with my eyes, manual would be out of focus. Hand held.
You may let me know what I could have done better.

Tonopaugh! My in-laws used to live right between Tonopaugh and the bustling metropolis of Harquahela (I think I spelled that right).
Are those pics from the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix, near Camelback Mountain. It's been about 30 years since I was there, but I remember it having some really nice desert plant displays. I'd just say on the photos, closer is better on those subjects, although it's a challenge on butterflies, skittish subjects that they are.

Yes, it is the Phoenix Botanical Gardens.
We had to stay on the trails, this was as close as I could get for pictures. I photographed about 600 pictures that day.
Close enough for the spelling. It took me quite a while to say it without hocking up a luggie. LOL :lol:
National Guard is still around the corner . God bless them.
