Nice series.

Just wonder where you guys catch the shot for these butts.

Shade loving butts from MNT (plus the branded imperial above). That explains the less than ideal dark background.

Malay Viscount:

Common Faun:

Thanx sharpion. rules of the third ya? i would try my best possible to compose it nicely. but most of the time, it's really a 1 shot 1 kill kinda of thing. they get startled easily and i will be cursing why i din't fire earlier

Thanx Qazwer. If you're interested, there is a singapore butterfly interest forum around. u might wanna take a look. I think AH should have a lot of nice butts to shoot. I just started on this hobby and do not know many places.

Very nice and pleasing shots there.
A bit more DOF for #1 will be better.

Yup, agreed. The forewing is OOF. This was shot ff and hence the DOF is very shallow. Going F/16 or more might render the shot useless at that time

the ones i normally see on my treks are painted jezebel and the more common sailors and plain tigers. wonder when my luck will be as good as urs heehee

Wong ,

Good sharp shots!

Malay Viscount and Malay Lacewing 3 D approach can do with a bit more DOF and in the other side shots, butts not parallelwith the sensor hence some OOF areas.

Unless intentionally taking an oblige shot for the 3 D presentation , in most instnaces parallel- -with-the-wing shot is the best approach in attending a balance of DOF and BG.

Keep them coming! You are improving by leaps and bounds!
