Purple Emperor
Hi All,

I have been suffering from a lack of focus regarding what to photograph recently so thought I'd flick through the archives to see what I had. I took this at the beginning of the summer using:

Nikon D2X, Sigma 150mm macro, 1/250thsec. at F6.3

Thanks for replies to last post.

Regards chris.

Nice capture of a butterfly that I havn't seen Chris, I must admit though that I am not a great fan of 'top down' shots of butterflies.
