    Hi all,

    Not a great day yesterday with the overcast sky and hence fewer butts appearing.. also did not shoot well...Flash -EV. Trying to learn how to control lighting as well. Pleae pardon the below pics.

    #1. Banana Skipper. Due to the angle, could not get parallel to the butt.


    #2. Ambon Onyx. wings not in focus


    #3. Great Eggfly. Background is horrible!



    #4. Unknown


    #5. Chilades pandava pandava (Cycad Blue) Background is horrible

    I like #4. #3 unfortunately has damaged wing tips. your text is a bit too dim already, can do a little shadow to high light it.
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    hehehe, the text serves a purpose right? so they should be styled and sized to do the job.

    #4 looks like blue grassy tiger, perfect shot with parallel in plane. Everything on the butt is tack sharp.
    Nice catch on the Ambon!
    Cheers!

    The skipper was hard to shoot.. the angle was not right.... still learning about light control.. really bad at it...

    Nice pictures Jeff but 3 - 5 has a bit of harsh light. 1 and 2 would be nice if there is more DOF to get the butts in focus.
