Melanargia galathea

The Marbled White

Melanargia galathea

Linnaeus, 1758

 

I always wanted to take a photograph of a butterfly with open wings and seen from the front. Focus bracketing of Olympus cameras really shines in this kind of frames. When I have good conditions (most of all - lack of wind...), with this feature it is possible to have whole insect in focus in several seconds.

 

ƒ/3.5, 1/30 s, ISO 200 - stacked from 48 exposures; natural light
