Green Veined White in flight
My second 'in flight' offering. I am working on improving the lighting setup!

D200 180mm f25 1/25,000th sec. flash

Clive,
This has prompted me from my slumber, what an image!!

Although the flash falls off slightly on the flowers the butterfly is lit perfectly. Just enough to pick out detail and retain some shadow/modelling. The background also adds to the image and is all the better for not being the usual black for these kind of shots.

Perhaps you could share some more details on how you set this up?

Yep, this is definately an improvement on the first. Great work, looking forward to seeing more.

Ole - Yes Peter, well spotted, they are the ghastly Spanish ones - from my garden, the soil here won't support the real thing... :frown:
