Eastern-Tailed Blue

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted December 14, 20061,835 views14 comments
This past summer wasn't the best for finding the larger showy BFs, but the grass BFs were fairly abundant, like this Eastern-Tailed Blue.

Full frame, 105/2.8, extension, MLU, f/18 @1/2 sec., focusing rail, early morning light.

A beautiful image Will. The obvious standout is the contrast of the white butterfly against the green background real shines here. Excellent detail and perfect drop in DOF overall. Congratulations on your EP selection well deserved. :smile:
