p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Brimstone on Hyacinth


I was about to go out for a pub lunch when I walked by this, slightly tattered, individual resting (not feeding) on a flower. Its position was such that the lens, the main flash, on a L-bracket, and the fill flash (in my lens-supporting hand) were all blocked or snagged by stiff plant stems if I tried for the ideal plane of focus. So this was from a slightly high position.

EM-1, Kiron 105mm (f8?), twin flash, hand-held.

Thanks.

Here in the (south central) UK we have had a slow start, with frosts on more mornings than in any year I can remember, with frequent north winds. We have also had rain on many more days than not. The fruit blossom season started about a week ago but apples have yet to bloom.

Thanks.

The view through the viewfinder indicated that the proboscis and the background were equally dark and I am pleased with how the flash separated the two.
