Butterfly Exhibition
, originally uploaded by Surje O'Leone.
I seem to have forgotten to post this set to LJ! Ah well, better late than never. After going to the Natural History Museum in the dark distance of last summer, we also went to the Butterfly exhibition which was in a large plastic tent outside the museum, which meant that there was a soft diffuse light in which to see the thousands of species of butterflies that they had there. It was a bit cramped but there was a real sense of wonderment and enjoyment in the punters.
Also for me it was a chance to play with a new macro lens, and it turned out that despite the semi-transparent ceiling, it was about the darkest day of the summer, so having the vibration reduction really helped in the low light levels! Click on through to Flickr where there are more moths and butterflies in the set.
