Back Garden - "sods law" - all the days I've spent over the last couple of weeks sitting ready with the camera, only to see these guys fly through without stopping, today I was actually doing something, (I was dismantling an old garden bench for renovation) my hands were covered in WD-40 and rust, when my wife told me an Orange-tip had just landed - a quick dash indoors to wash my hands, and luckily he was still on the dandelion seed head, I managed a couple of shots but as I was moving to a better position he left. Hopefully there will be more chances.
On a wonderful trip to Gore Bay with Flying a local Flickr friend. March 12, 2015 New Zealand.
Gore Bay is a coastal settlement near Cheviot, New Zealand. It has a surfing beach with summer beach houses and 14 permanent residents. There are two local camping grounds, each with beach access and business. It is a popular New Year's Eve venue.
Friends of mine who look at birds told me about this reserve and that it might have some interesting butterflies, so in the hot sunny weather yesterday I decided to give it a look.
I suspect it will only have common, widespread species from what I saw, though apparently purple hairstreaks are seen there. On my visit there were a few common species around.
These were the most common species seen but it is the first time this year I have photographed them with wings closed showing the beautiful pattern.
This is the first female I have seen this year. It was actually quite windy and not easy to get a clear look at this individual.
Buff Tip. Brilliantly disguised moth. Looks like a piece of twig. July visitor to my moth trap, Hunmanby, North Yorkshire.
Hampstead Heath, Saturday 11 July 2015. If you can confirm the type please do. Is it an Essex Skipper with black antennae tips? Thanks to David Allen www.flickr.com/photos/infopt2000/ for confirming it is an Essex Skipper.
Poem.
Blue horizons, tipped by island mountain ridges
and a ripple of fair weather clouds.
Shallow waters, revealing bays and beaches of silver-white sand.
Bars, sand-spits and tombolos bridge a myriad of rocky islets.
Not so “Local Heroes,” holidaying in a landscape where the Caribbean meets “Harry Potter.”
What a legacy this western coast possesses.
Arisaig to Morar.
The white-sand and blue-ocean heaven.
Yesterday I had a hot tip to find a Barn Owl that lives by the canal across the fields from us. I got up at 6.40 and went to find it ( car temp -9.5) stood in the field for a good hour until the sun came up.. not a bloody sausage !!! Will I try tomorrow??!!
The first person that says the sunrise was worth it, gets one between the eyes LOL....
My trip to hopefully see and photograph orange tips was successful even though the sun only remained out for around 40 minutes and there were very few of the cuckoo flowers that are the main attraction at this reserve.
Though not on a flower, I am otherwise very pleased with this photo.

Orange-tip on bluebell at Birnie Loch. I have been re-editing some older pics for a project and thought I would post a few of them.
Little Olympus XA 35mm camera, tipped, on my knees. Full frame 35mm lens, no photoshopping. TRI-X film, scan of darkroom print.
I kept this doughnut for myself because it matches a favorite jacket. I figured out a different way to hang it...very easy. I may still shorten the bottom loop but it hangs very nice as is, so maybe I'll leave it. I used the soft glass tubing from PolymerClayExpress in the amber color and two bronze-colored loop crimps (what is the proper name of these things?) on each end of a short length of the tubing and hooked both ends to metal ring.

Don't know why I hadn't tried this before, but the other day I put the mp-e65 on two sets of extension tubes and cackled maniacally as lightning clashed outside. This is the tip of a ballpoint pen, uncropped. You can see the thickness of ink.
Also, if anybody thinks this doesn't belong in poor man's macro let me know. I feel like the group is based more around trying new techniques than about actual investment in photography equipment but if that's not the case I'll remove it.
