Catching Some Rays
Uploaded: February 14, 2010 10:57:07
Butterflies can't fly unless their body temperature is above 86 degrees F. One way to warm themselves is to angle their wings so the sun's rays reflect back toward their body. This male Eastern tailed-blue butterfly is catching some rays to warm himself up.
Canon 100mm lens, ISO 200, f/8, 1/100 second, +2/3 exposure compensation, Missouri, 7/19/08.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.

I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
