This is a photo of a wild Tiger Swallowtail butterfly. The photo was taken while the butterfly was feeding on a Butterfly Bush along the edge of my backyard in North Carolina.
Canon EOS-1v, pro film body, using Fuji Velvia 100 slide film with a Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS lens, handheld with IS activated.
