Nice catch bro. My fav is #1.

Qazwer · 19th August 2006

Nice catch!

High ISO in #3?

Lion king · 19th August 2006

HI CM,
Nice catch of the rarely seened
Bindahara phocides phocides #2
and such a pristine one too

It would had been a nice looking Harlequin
if only the bg had been better in #3
I can understand the constraint of shooting in the field.
You shoot what you can and worry about the bg later.

sumball · 19th August 2006

Thanks Bro jbma, Qazwer, and David.

Qazwer, yup. Very high ISO was used when shooting pic #3. At least 800 I think. (The eye is not in focus

)

It was around 5pm under the canopy. Dark and messy.

David, if possible I will look for a better BG if
1. the butt is co-operate enough to pose for me
2. If I still get the best DOF

If not, like what you said, record first, talk later. haha

Nice shots of #1 Taractrocera archias quinta (TAQ) and #2 a male Bindahara phocides phocides (The Plane )!

Congrates on nailing #3 a female Taxila haquinus haquinus (Harlequin), you are amongst the handful that managed to nail it after it was re-discovered in late March 2006.

They love the shade and it is always a challenge to take a decent shot of them with mandatory high ISO ,low speed and the wind factor.

Considering it was late in the evening when the shot was taken it was a commendable effort.
