Three steps, three butterflies
A few days ago, only just out of the car, before having started my walk, I had already spotted three butterflies within photographing reach; a lazy photographer's dream. Here they are:
A red admiral (Vanessa atalanta), Atalanta in Dutch, sitting on the parking lot:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO100, f5.6, 1/500s
A comma (Polygonia c-album), gehakkelde aurelia in Dutch, with a hole in it:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/400s
And, yes, another large skipper (Ochlodes sylvanus), groot dikkopje in Dutch, slightly worn, with a droplet hanging off its bum:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO125, f8, 1/160s
Thanks for watching!
It's sometimes said that Luck = Skill + Opportunity, so yes, you were quite "lucky"! :P
