Chicago Nature- Butterfly Museum 7 19 09

Beautiful Butterflies! The video is a little jumpy in the beginning - trying to follow butterflies. Finally got
some that landed, but I swear they know when you're taking a photo and they close their wings. lol
We have many still photos though that are great and photos with the different types of birds there.
I know the video is long - but made it mostly for us.

It states on the museum's website: Get up close to more than 75 species of butterflies in a 2,700 square-foot greenhouse filled with pools of water, flowers, tropical trees and 1,000 butterflies, including those never-before-seen in our region.

Hi you asked for feed back. It think it was an interesting subject and you shot some nice video. But this would have rocked if you had edited it down to short clips, perhaps set to music. Even if you didn't want to make clips and glue together then perhaps if you just had a shorter version with the later footage. 6+ min is kinda long.

But it was enjoyable!

LOL I knew you'd comment Rob, Mr. Professional! I thought about cutting it down - I have 2 short ones that are the best I think on Flickr. Actually I think I have 11 clips total and I combined them which I know was long to watch. Also thought about music but I wanted to get the natural sound of the mist etc inside the greenhouse. Next time I'll consult! :-) Thanks for your honest, professional opinion. Talk to you later!!
