Porte Ponderings:

Sometimes a change in perspective can create a unique photo. The photo I used for today’s quote is an example of a change in perspective. Usually butterflies are seen from their topside with wings wide open. This photo is from the underside as the Gulf Fritillary was feeding on a small white flower. Using Aperture mode the details of the butterfly and flowers are sharp and the background is blurred to emphasise the details of the subject. Aperture Mode is my favorite.
