Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, Papilio glaucus

This butterfly gave me many chances for a good digital capture. I imaged this one at the lower end of Sutherland Pond in Ooms Conservation Area, part of the Columbia Land Conservancy, in Chatham, New York, USA. For this image, I used my manual focus Tamron Adaptall-2 Model 52A SP70-210mm f3.5-4 CF Tele Macro Lens with attached Tamron Adaptall-2 Pentax KA Mount on Pentax K20D Camera, hand held, manually focused, Shake Reduction set to 200mm, ISO 400, f16, 1/180 sec, with fill-in flash from camera's built-in electronic flash. This is a full resolution Large JPEG and is Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) and is without any post-processing, adjusting, editing, cropping, or re-sizing.
