| Camille (cnut) Msg: #1 July 5th 2005 15:08:56 | Ali, this is a great shot! Beautiful colors and I love how the flower highlights his antenna. Did you use a macro specific lens for this? | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Ali Watters (Ali) Msg: #2 July 5th 2005 21:51:45 | Thanks Camille - I used my 28-80mm kit lens that came with the nikon - it's my only lens :) Got lucky with the diasy behind the antenna. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Adrian Warren (AdrianW) Msg: #3 July 9th 2005 14:40:14 | Yup, a very nice capture indeed. It's a rare one too, if my identification skills are up to the challenge. It's clearly a Fritillary, I think it's a Pallas Fritillary (Argynnis laodice) | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Ali Watters (Ali) Msg: #4 July 9th 2005 17:30:24 | Thanks Adrian - I had know idea where to start looking for the species (lacking books) - but used google on "Pallas Fritillary" - I didn't look quite right - but this looks spot on - Marbled Fritillary - Brenthis Daphne (assuming that guy is right!) - not so rare but I loved this purple section on the outside of the wing. Attached another shot - it just didn't open up completely when taking these shots, this one has a little more wing though. |

| Adrian Warren (AdrianW) Msg: #5 July 9th 2005 21:11:10 | Yup, you're right - that does look a far better fit :) I noticed the pink/purple fringe, but failed to notice the eyes or lack thereof... D'oh! | |||||||||||||||||||||
