The Orange-tip is a true sign of spring, being one of the first species to emerge that has not overwintered as an adult. The male and female of this species are very different in appearance. The more-conspicuous male has orange tips to the forewings, that give this butterfly its name. These orange tips are absent in the female and the female is often mistaken for one of the other whites, especially the Green-veined White or Small White. This butterfly is found throughout England, Wales and Ireland, but is somewhat-local further north and especially in Scotland. In most regions this butterfly does not form discrete colonies and wanders in every direction as it flies along hedgerows and woodland margins looking for a mate, nectar sources or foodplants. More northerly colonies are more compact and also more restricted in their movements.

Tip:

Question "when using gels, what white balance do I select"

 

The answer is quite simple.

You shoot the colorchecker passport with normal strobes (so without the gels) now you use this as the setting and add the gels. This way the gels do exactly what they supposed to do.

 

Of course..... When shooting gels you are in the creative mood and you can change whatever you like.

 

Added note.

When using CTO gels for color correction you of course shoot with gels on. But this tip is about the creative use.

Anthocharis cardamines (Linnaeus, 1758)

Blackrock - march - 13

The black and white female rejects the advances of the male by raising her abdomen. This could be because she is already mated or just not in the mood. Whatever, the fluttering male remains both out of focus and out of luck. Not his day!

On the tip of a new season? It's a bit chilly here today and unfortunately my snow dance didn't work...hope you have a wonderful First Day of Spring.

At last found one settled for a moment.

This is black tip, a male red squirrel born in spring. He is fully independent now (Squirrels-2019-1641.jpg)

Maybe Fixed head powered, ex NCB? but in very tidy order -back then of course, this yard did not keep stock for long before stuff was cut up!

A Bromstone butterfly and a Small White butterfly where whirling round together in flight for quie a long time like a courtship dance before a short spell visiting flowers and resting on the ground. They then started the dance again and were joined by an Orange-tip Butterfly.

Orange Tip - Garden, Hullbridge, Essex.

A new Isuzu bulk tipping lorry operated by Daltons of Matamata, suppliers of potting mixes and other landscaping products. More often than not such a truck would operate with a 4-axle drawbar trailer.

I am not a fan of the recent updating/restyling of the Isuzu cab front, particularly the upper grille area with its six black areas as well as the gap below it which gives the appearance of there being something missing.

Tip

Using cardboard or flags for hard shadows is an awesome trick.

 

Make sure you place the object as close as possible to the model otherwise the shadow will not be hard enough.

I've been trying for weeks to get a photo of one of these and today I struck lucky.

Orange Tip - Bowers Marsh RSPB reserve, Pitsea, Essex. so well camouflaged when they close their wings!

Had a walk round the Midhurst yesterday bu the river. Found this orange tip - who stuck around for a few photos.

I took a lot of shots of this godwit, and I'm having a hard time deciding which ones I like enough to post, such that I don't end up posting too many that look mostly the same. Although this one is a bit further away than some of my others, I quite like her pose - a subtle tip-toe of the rear leg as she froze in her stride.
