Sam's Butterflies, August 2019

Our son wanted to see what it was like to raise butterflies, and the results were entertaining and educational. This video is my attempt to document them before they were all released into the wild.
Camera gear: Panasonic GX85, Olympus 60mm 1:2.8 macro lens. Aperture was wide open the entire time which was a beginner's mistake.

Thanks, reminds me that very few of us are "in the moment" anymore. Patience indeed.

Amazing quality Jim, despite your claim of the "beginner's mistake" in the comment area of the video!

Well, I should have closed the aperture (f stop) to get better focus because we were outside with plenty of light, so it was indeed an amateur mistake :-) but thanks!
