You have to be patient to photograph this little butterfly. Always on the move, from one flower to another, you have to wait for it to land, and then you have a few seconds to take a picture of it. Nikon D3500, with Tokina 100mm macro lens 1/640 sec f/8 ISO 400 manual focus, handheld camera

  • Camera: NIKON D3500
