Bulgaria.

One of the most stunning European Fritillaries that posed all too briefly in a meadow in the Pirin Mountains in Bulgaria.

A very quick grab shot before it moved swiftly on.

Encontrei essa bela borboleta repousando sobre uma folha que acredito ser de uma bromélia. Estava muito tranquila permitindo assim grande aproximação e com isso favorecendo a utilização da técnica de empilhamento de foco em campo. Algumas fotos finais foram perdidas pois a borboleta resolveu voar e partiu.

Empilhamento de foco feito com 52 fotografias usando luz mista (natural+flash) combinadas posteriormente com o programa Combine ZP.

Foto tirada num pequeno lago da Estância Vitória, Pantanal.

O bichinho na foto abaixo é um sagui-de-rabo-preto, fotografado durante uma caminhada na mata da Estância Vitória, Pantanal. É muito pequenino, o mais pequeno sagui do Pantanal, pesa cerca de 260gr. Ele estava um pouco longe e com a luz a dar-lhe por cima, mas muito curioso a nosso respeito e posou muito bem :)

It is very small, the smallest of the Pantanal marmosets, it weighs about 260gr. He was a little far, and the sun was too high already, but he was very curious about us and posed very well :)
