Description
Quite an eventful day today, but i shant bore you with the details.
In short, we spent the day near the seaside and visited a butterfly farm on the way home. I enjoyed it, if a my dad and sister didnt. I guess it was because it was already a scortching hot day and then going into a greenhouse, really wasnt the pleasentest of experiences, but i did enjoy photographing the huge amount of butterflies. A lot of the shots were hazy as they had sprinklers running at times which made the air misty. I also got to chat with a fello photographer who was out enjoying himself, which i rarely get the chance to. He had a lot more exspirence than me, being in his 70's and having a strong interest in photography most of his life. Was interesting hearing what equipment he used to use, and that he now currently uses a point and shoot digital, I think he had fun when i let him have a try with my 20D. he said he never made a career of it although he wish he had, something i hope im not saying when im that age, i hope to attempt a career at it, although a lot more skill is needed and improvement.

Well anyway, i like this shot, I like how the depth of field and the background have created these blotches or "sparkles" of light that seem to be eradiating from the butterfly.
