This exhibit is great for shooting orchids. During the week tripods are allowed with a permit. The numbers are controlled so you may want to call to reserve a spot.

Butterfly Exhibit

Posted in Exhibits, Photographic Opportunities on March 12, 2008 by jeremyswan

Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum
12th and Constitution Avenue Washington, D.C.
Fee: Adults-$6; Seniors-$5.50; Tuesdays-free
Cathrine Sasek notes that there is a new, expanded butterfly exhibit, with info at the following sites.

This exhibit features about 500 butterflies from around the world. Because the USDA does not
allow breeding, the Smithsonian must constantly replace specimens, which is why there is a fee.

There should be some great shots here, but check to see if tripods are allowed (they probably are not).

This is an exhibit of photographic monochrome and color archival ink prints that are thought
provoking visual responses to unpredictable forces of mid-life experience. They depict thought
processes, spiritual questions, loss, relationships, mortality, memories, admittance, and letting go.
