Red Admiral

Photographing butterflies can be quite tricky and you definitely need to be quick off the mark to get a good shot. 

Today's shot while not the sharpest is still a good image showing off the beauty of this fantastic butterfly the Red Admiral.

Beautiful Butterflies

These pictures were taken back in 2007 in the gardens at Speke Hall using my old Konica compact digital camera.  Even though it was just a 4MP camera which by today's standards is less than most mobile phones the quality of the images is I think quite striking with sharp detail and bold colours.

I really like these images and I am sure you will too. I know the first picture is of a Red Admiral, if you know what the brown one is please let me know in the comments below...
