Common Blue Butterfly
by Matthew Burrard-Lucas
These Common Blue butterflies are fairly abundant in the London Wetland Centre. They were extremely skittish in the warm summer weather.
Equipment: Canon Eos 1D MKII N and MP-E 65mm

I started photography only a few years ago and have been passionate ever since. I especially like nature, wildlife and macro photography.

As one who helped start a butterfly garden for Eagle Audubon. here in Florida. This is a fabulous shot!! I too love nature shots.
As an amatuer, with a digital camera, which my children gave me for my 80th birthday. I am envious of your skill.
