Probando el macro y primer estreno con una mariposa tirada a pulso.

The weather hasn't been very good recently for wet butterfly shots. But this morning I woke up early and looked out of the window and saw I had a wet windscreen so quickly grabbed my camera kit to have a pre work macro session. I found this wet skipper after a while and did this field stack. This was 22 images using the Canon 5DS.

Lycaena dispar

I think this is a monk skipper, but feel free to correct me!

Highest #90

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! :-)

Thanks you guys!

Anthocharis cardamines

Notice how the butterfly's proboscis is working - at 1/125 sec exposure it is blurry because of its extremely fast movement!
