The Nature Museum has a wonderful year-round habitat for the butterflies, and in the middle of winter with all of the dull colors of nature, it&#8217;s relaxing to photograph something with rich colors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 150px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">But a friend challenged me to photograph something unusual in black &amp; white; so I chose the butterflies in my second trip to Peggy Notebaert. Can I create interesting images without depending on the vibrant colors of the plants and insects? I am very pleased with the results of my experiment.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>monochrome color<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,40,45,1719],"tags":[4954,8168,8230,6565,6518,8227,97,1628,306,5,34,4278,123,2277,173,14,280,824,323,860,3394,6517,8228,1768,8127,819],"class_list":["post-30117","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-animals-insects","category-flowers-fireworks","category-nature-sunsets","category-weeks","tag-100mm-f2-8-macro","tag-8168","tag-25-04-13","tag-28-200-f2-8-5-6","tag-a7r3","tag-apr25","tag-april","tag-black-white","tag-blossom","tag-butterfly","tag-chicago-il","tag-d750","tag-flower","tag-fur","tag-hair","tag-insect","tag-leaf","tag-legs","tag-monochrome","tag-nikon","tag-peggy-notebaert-nature-museum","tag-sony","tag-week-16-2025","tag-weeks-2","tag-weeks-2025","tag-wings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30117"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30117\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30293,"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30117\/revisions\/30293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30117"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fourpointedstar.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
