Admiral

A nomad. Had come to Finland from far away North-Africa. It landed on a flower and I went closer and was ready to take a photo. Instead of just taking a picture it took me four hours making friends with this personality until I could get close enough to take any photo with macro lens. After that I could go as close as I needed to, and the admiral stayed still even when the lens occasionally touched it. I spent 4 rolls of Fuji Velvia 100. Got one good shot. I think the result was worth the effort.
