It's taken me a long time to get a shot of a male orange tip with his wings open like this. As most of you will know they're always on the wing and rarely settled or they're found with their wings held upright when at rest. This one though obliged nicely allowing me the opportunity to take a few shots.
April 12, 2024, Lost Maples State Natural Area TX.
The White-tipped Dove is a bit rarer than the more prevalent White-winged Doves for the area of TX where we were. This bird flew in and foraged about 10 feet from me as I was sitting on the ground watching the hummingbirds feed. I had been hearing the low single note call of the White-tipped Doves while at Lost Maples, but didn't realize that's who this was until just going through my photos and checking my bird app today! The White-winged doves have white edging along the front of their wings..
This is the first Orange-tip butterfly I've see this year, resting on a Pheasant's Eye (?) Narcissus. Taken at Brodsworth Hall garden earlier this month.
I posted another shot of this butterfly with it's wings closed at about 4pm (UK) yesterday and since then (over 22 hours ago) it's received very few views (just 12, at the moment), so I'm not sure if everyone can see it. Others have reported this sort of issue and I have seen it myself on previous occasions, so I've reported this to Flickr (as suggested on the help forum thread). I've left the original there to allow them to investigate. Please let me know if you can see the previous image too.
Unfortunately fly tipping has increased in the countryside during the covid period. Scum staining our countryside and driving farmers nuts!

Tip of the day: If you’re going to photograph a crystal glass on a black oven hob do make sure they’re laboratory clean first, and then wait for daylight (I didn’t). Eventually settle on no overhead hood light, no flash, just the ceiling light. Let the ISO run riot. Adjust everything downwards after - exposure, highlights, contrast. Experiment with Affinity’s spotlight effect, then clone out the grease spots you missed. Adjust White Balance to deal with diffracted blue spots you also missed. Then cook dinner.
Vow never to attempt again, except you know you will….
Tip :
Most locations can be found close to your home, you just have to look for them. This is for example not 4 Kms from my home. Often people travel far for shooting locations because they are "used"' to what's around them. However that getting used to actually makes it "easier" to shoot it. Because you know how it looks and you will probably try to find more interesting angles for the simple reason you're not "wowed" by it anymore.
Another tip :
Make sure the model is "loose" from the background. Placing the model in front of connected to the buildings can make the composition very chaotic.
Want a lot more tips (and more in depth) check out my book "mastering the modelshoot" or check out the videos on Kelbyone (this shot is actually from one) or of course the videos on Frankdoorhof dot com.

At last!
My first butterfly photo of the year. Early in the morning a brimstone flew through my garden but this butterfly settled on the back of one of my solar sheep in early afternoon.
The famous neon sign of the Tip Top Tap atop the Allerton Hotel in Chicago's Magnificent Mile still glows into the night. The Mad Men era bar is now a ballroom, but the hotel has been given a renovation. This was a reflection in the windows nearby taken from the top of our hotel, the MileNorth Hotel on East Superior Street.
I was desperately trying to find something to photograph today as I'm doing a 365 project. Settled on my pen pot.
11-12-15_MG_4330 It was a treat to find one of these again, several years ago I had my only other one of this species and barely got any usable photos of it at that time.

There was some sun when I set off for my usual walk and I saw a few butterflies on the roadside as I headed for the reserve. However by the time I got there it was overcast, so I headed back.
This was one of those seen - all were either female orange tips or other whites.
I can't get enough of this beautiful butterfly. My first capture with open wings.
