We are going to run an article by Mary Jane Epps about pollination of azaleas by butterflies and would like to use your photo of Spicebush Swallowtails at a pinxterbloom azalea to help illustrate the article, attributing the photo to you, of course. If this is OK with you, I'd appreciate it if you would send a high-resolution, uncropped version of the photo, without copyright notice or watermark, to me at glassberg at naba.org.<br /><br />Thanks for considering this request!<br /><br />Jeffrey Glassbergjeffrey glassberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15286851945875713200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072479063452233450.post-74816762403636792842015-08-04T10:41:35.145-04:002015-08-04T10:41:35.145-04:00Just found your blog, Very nice stuff.

Mostly with focusing quickly. The 3200 is at the lower end of the DSLR spectrum so surely that is an issue, but wold interesting in how you set your camera's AF up.

The Giant Swallowtails are enamored with this particular azalea (a horticultural variety.) My Giant Swallowtails are a bit larger than the Spicebush Swallowtails you photographed, but one has to wonder if it represents a similar situation.<br /><br />Cheryl Weedpicker Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529273252200443042noreply@blogger.com
