Taken with the Nikon D80 18-55mm F3.5. North Carolina Indoor Butterfly Museum. Fairly cloudy day, low lighting, shutter speed 1/8, hand held resulting in the blurred moving wing. ISO ~200 though I can't remember exactly. A LOT of noise reduction due to the grain from high ISO and brightening of midtones in post editing.

    Great rendition. Soooo much better than butterflies taken in bright daylight or worse, with flash. I have seen so many awful butterfly pictures. This is the first I've seen that is really nice.
