Falcate Orangetip - male

Anthocharis midea

These are tough butterflies to get pictures of - they rarely stop moving, and even when they do, their small size and birght white still make it a challenge.

Sturdy and delicate, the

bougainvillea seem like paper lanterns.

I liked the way the backlighting allows you to see the markings on the top side of the wings.

A slightly different processing from me. I originally planned to not do any processing, then I wanted to do selective color on the flag, then I went with this. I guess it is desaturated selective color. This is one of those shots that's been done a lot, and I always tend to like it. The first time I saw it and it really grabbed my attention was a shot THE real Ryan Myers did. Then the first or second time I shot with Ward/Dustin he got a shot of a flag that I had struggled in vain to shoot for about ten minutes.

MSR & newly deboxed NP (with Simply Lilac scalp). Now they are pastel-haired sisters too. Both wearing Chuthings. Just had a hair wash here.

Sunlight is shining through this leaf, giving it an appearance beiing translucent.

I'm not sure about these odd lashes I have drawn on her faceplate ...

Taken through a sheet of plastic smeared with butter.

One of three - this one and Riley’s had the same amount vs the other shot of Riley which had less.

Can’t say I liked any of them - but it was an interesting experiment.

Not sure if it comes out that well on the photo, but the mountains look faintly unreal

Casting around the house for subjects to photograph, I found this by accident. Well - I know it's ALWAYS been in my bathroom, but I never realised quite how photogenic my window was! I leant against the wall to shoot something else entirely, and caught sight of the textures of the glass... The rest is history. :-D

My first try at replacing a background.Taken at Warrnambool Botanic Gardens

These images are all about playing with translucency. The leaf has been placed on a piece of glass put between two tressles. A soft box is used to illuminate the leaf from below, with metering for the light, not the leaf.

I have had a lot of fun with these and will now try a few different scenarios.
