I mentioned on yesterday\u2019s post (Bikes and Flowers<\/a>) that I was invited by a friend of mine to partake in a\u00a0combination of mountain biking and wildflower photography. Actually, it was a very effective\u00a0way to cover a large area in a relatively short amount of time. We really moved efficiency between locations and managed to get some good images for our Texas Wildflower<\/a> collections.<\/p>\n

The image below was taken on one of the trails we rode on. One of the characteristics of a Texas Gayfeather<\/a> is that it attracts butterflies. I was lucky enough to capture such an event. I started this session with my newly found subject by shooting far enough away to not be a threat to him. As I moved closer, however, it decided that I was too close and flew away. So, this image is actually a cropped-down image of a larger frame. I wanted to be able to see the detail in the butterfly and how they feed on these flowers.<\/p>\n

Texas Gayfeather<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This image was taken with my Canon EOS 5D Mark III<\/a> using my Canon EF 100mm f\/2.8L Macro Lens<\/a>. The camera was set on Aperture Priority<\/a> mode with the aperture set at f\/7.1, shutter speed at 1\/250 the ISO at 100. I did not have to use a flash due to the strong light from the sun. It really helped back-light the flower and the butterfly. Post-processing was all done in Lightroom.<\/p>\n
