Sometimes, I wonder how other creatures see the world.

I'm not so sure of the specie...

Maybe a Polyommatus amandus

My favourite macro from today was this portrait of a 'Large skipper' butterfly. Despite the name they are a small butterfly species and this portrait was taken at nearly 4 times magnification.

 

The butterfly had landed on a fence so I was able to get 25 handheld shots and stack the image in PS.

 

I never noticed they had little horns before!

I mentioned a few days ago that I had gone into the woods looking for butterflies, well this is my first attempt at photographing them!

 

I have no idea what type of butterfly this is - I am sure that it is probably a very common one and not special in any way! My respect goes to those that produce amazing butterfly images - you have the patience of a saint!! :-)

 

Still, overall (especially without having the use of a macro lens), I feel reasonably happy with my first forage into this genre! :-)
