p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Red admiral butterfly


Was just spraying some camelia leaves with sugar/honey spray when this red admiral butterfly came down to feed - think it had been waiting.
First 3 natural light/fill flash, last 4 full flash

Mix of 40D/Tamron90 and 5Dmk2/MPE-65 shots.

Thanks Ambrola and michael for the comments

michael - similar here- had my usual holly blues and speckled wood butterflies, and a few gatekeepers. Not many commas, painted ladies or red admirals around.

I like the last one for the personal touch. Sad to see it has one antenna damaged!
How do you make up and spray the sugar honey mix?

Thanks Anthony, Kurt and nathan for the comments - appreciated

nathan - sugar mix = large teaspoon of sugar same of honey add about 50ml water and microwave for 20 to 30 secs to dissolve. I put it in a little hand mister and spray a few leaves (use about 10ml at a time)

Thanks Phil
Nearly got the exposure right for the sky shots but always have problems with those red spots overexposing.
