Tropical Butterfly Photos from Butterfly World,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
by William T. Hark, M.D.
Stock Photography and Video
The following photos were taken by me while at Butterfly World in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The butterflies are kept in an enclosed "butterfly house." Although not as exciting as photographing butterflies in the jungles of Central America, Butterfly World provides an opportunity to easily observe and photograph a variety of colorful tropical butterflies in a natural setting.

All photos were taken using a Nikon FG, Nikon 105 Macro lens, and either natural light or a Nikon SS-29 ring light. I used Fuji Velvia ASA 100 film. There has been some cropping and minor adjustment using Adobe Photoshop.
