Garden Wildlife

Hi Steemians,

I really enjoy photography, however I am not a photographer myself. I've been following some photographers on Steemit who have some incredible pictures and have inspired me too. Photography isn't just about the picture itself, but it truly is an art form, I know some photographers myself and they are all very critical of their work, to me what seems to be a beautiful photo worthy of a gallery they deem unacceptable, pointing this out to me by zooming in to a tiny dot on the screen and stating that the image is blurry/pixelated. So I do have a lot to learn in the field!

Recently I came across a beautiful butterfly in flight photo taken by @myday and he challenged me (to a duel...just kidding...I'd loose) to take one myself, so I decided to venture out into the woods aka my garden and attempt this art form.

Please excuse the garden as it looks like I'm attempting to grow a forest, and without further ado here are my poor attempts.... it is very difficult to focus on a moving object.

I only have a very ancient digital camera (Nikon D3100), but it does the job for the time being, I'd like to invest in a better one or at least a better lens with wider aperture.
