 Yeah.. I'm sure some people will say this isn't a long exposure. Well, the description says 'longer than normal' and this is certainly longer than normal for me! On this trip, I DID get to freeze a lot of the butterflies' wings.

Anyway, processing is just cropping, resizing, sharpening, and slight contrast adjustment.

Looks like you were trying for stop motion, but the motion blur on the wings is distracting

the wing of the butterfly is kinda fuzzy or out of focus?

Not a strong demonstration of "long exposure," I'm afraid.

I don't think this meets the challenge. It looks like the shutter speed was too low by mistake rather than intent.
