A Very Red Butterfly

Excellent bug shot! Extra points for a cell phone picture...very good quality!

Excellent image from a phone! Thats a Pachliopta, not sure whether P. hector or P. Aristolochiae, aka Crimson Rose / Malabar rose or something like that. The Common Mormon [female] mimics this one, but you can tell the difference by the body colour. This one is red whereas the Common Mormon body is black.

<P>With which phone have you taken this photo? Cant believe phone cameras can take such a good macro!!!</P>

It's an N82 with. I think, a 5M-pixel camera. It is good at macro, from a few inches away, and at photographing anything close by, but not at anything much further, or at challeng (eg backlit) exposures. It is also slow, taking a couple of seconds to focus. Whist I would compare it negatively with my Canon S2-IS, the reason that I bought it is to have a camera in my pocket on a regular basis. The larger Canon almost never gets taken out on the offchance. Anyway, it's the first and only expensive phone I've ever had, so it has to put in sveral years of service to pay for itself Oh... it does GPS navigation too, which is neat :)

Have to admit that the quality of this one surprised me!!!

beautiful!

<P>No doubt this photo came out too good. maybe better than S2 :)</P> <P>&nbsp;</P>

who cares if it was taken with a phone or camera ..its just awsum and very beautiful

nice...

Wow!
