Common Imperial

Falcon · 27th November 2003

Finally exams over.

Went to AH this morning after long two months break from shooting and was greeted by the common imperial. Here is a one to share. Couldn't use flash as it will cast a shadow on the butterfly. Also it positioned itself in a rather awkward place for me to take a proper shot of it. Anyway it did not stay long and within a few seconds it flew off to the top of a tall free.

A bit grainy, but looks nice.

Tks. Agree that it is grainy cos using ISO 800 and it is slightly underexposed.
