I live in an area with some fairly good butterfly habitats and I have been trying to do more butterfly photography but I’m finding it a fairly frustrating experience and was wondering if I am just too impatient or are there things I could do to improve the hit rate. So a few questions
- What’s the best time of day?
- What are butterflies sensitive to, movement, smell, etc? Is using insect repellent to keep the flies and ticks off an issue?
- Do you find a spot and wait for them to come to you or do you stalk them?
- For an area where lots of butterflies are active what would be a reasonable hit rate? I’m getting may be 1 reasoanable shot per hour
- Is cammo gear necessary?
- How do you spot them? If they are not active I find I cannot see them until I am on top of them and then they are gone. Would binoculars help?
- Any other advice?
