Chester Zoo Butterfly House

lucyb · 14 May 2012

I know what you're thinking: oh god, not more zoo photos. Well, I did warn you..

Anyway, these are from the butterfly house in Chester Zoo. Most of them are taken using a Raynox DCR 150. No flash or anything, we were lucky to have a nice sunny day and the roof butterfly house diffused the light nicely.

As always, comments and critique are welcome.

Thanks Chris

I used a Nikkor 70-300mm (with VR). All shots, except number 3, used a Raynox DCR 150 as well.

It's a tricky place to get good photos, but these are nice. Like number 1 very much!

Thank you. It's my favourite too

I very much like the b&w animal photos you have on 500px, by the way!
