| Common Morpho Butterfly Butterfly House and Insectarium Missoula, Montana |
There are multiple butterflies flitting around the Butterfly House in Missoula. If you have a camera with a telephoto lens, you can isolate individual butterflies and control the front-to-back sharpness by setting a small f-number. I used a 70-200mm lens and chose f/4 to keep the front butterfly sharp and the back butterfly blurred. Learn more creative techniques for photographing these beautiful creatures through presentations and practice in Photographing Butterflies class at the Butterfly House this Wednesday, May 27, 2026, starting at 6pm. You can sign up here.
