Be patient I will tell you a mystical case of how I took this photo.
Prequel.
I needed to catch butterflies for a photo shoot. Last summer I had bought a little butterfly net and today I am going hunting in the field. But the hunt failed and I regret returning home with empty net… Near the house, I hear the nose of a car engine behind me. I turn around and see a little girl, a child of 6-7 years old, getting out of the car and running towards me. She’s crying ! What’s the matter? She says: “Dad, I want this butterfly net we were looking for so long time !” Her dad gets out of the car. He asks me: “Sir, could You sell us Your butterfly net? We went through all the shops in the city and found no butterfly nets for sale anywhere !” And how much she wanted to catch butterflies, take a closer look at their velvet wings and admire these cute creatures of natureI go down to the level of the child’s eyes and see tears in them. Then I couldn’t bring myself to say “No” to her. -What’s your name? -Helen. Helen, let me give you this butterfly net as a gift. Don’t pay, be happy ! –Thanks a lot ! It were no limits to the child’s happiness ! Her eyes were shining with happiness now. And I thought, ” my God ! How little a child needs to be happy !
On next day. It is warm evening.
In the quiet of the room, I suddenly heard a trembling sound. I went to the open window and realized that something had flown into the room. All was quiet, I closed the window and found nothing and went to bed. In the morning, however, I saw her ! She sat on the edge of the windowsill and slowly folded and spread her wings. What a surprise ! Camera ! Where’s my camera ? There it is in the bag next to the window ! With the tremor in my hands that any hunter feels when he sees a wild up close, I grab my camera and turn it on. A butterfly fluttered like a ballerina before my eyes and moved to the keyboard. I couldn’t imagine such a gift, I couldn’t believe my eyes ! I press the camera shutter button and ooooo happiness !! -the camera is set to serial shooting in HDR. It was my day ! I remembered the incident with the child, my gift to her, and I thought: why would this be ? I don’t have a butterfly net anymore, but I do have the butterfly itself ! Oddly enough, the story didn’t end there. The most amazing thing was the next day!
to be Continued…
On next day. Morning.
This morning was even more stunning than evening yesterday. I’ve never gambled in my life. I’ve never played a lottery in my life. I’ve never found money on the road or anywhere in my life. As I descend the steps, my eyes fall on the sidewalk beneath my feet. And what do I see ? Lying on the sidewalk a hundred-ruble note ! It’s so red, and a faint breeze, as if laughing at me, stirs it. And the hundred-ruble note seems to tease me: “Come on ! Catch me ! I’m not a butterfly !” This is fantastic, I bent down and picked up the bill, looked at it carefully and thought: “I don’t know if someone is playing a practical joke with me !” But no, there was no one around. The hundred-ruble note turned out to be real. And then I remembered the the girl, her father, the butterfly into my my room had flying again !After all, I paid exactly the same amount for it ! I couldn’t have come up with a sequence of these events if it wasn’t true !
Can anyone explain this phenomenon to me ?
