Last weekend saw Comma, Large White, Small White, Peacock, Meadow Brown and Common Blue still coming into the garden. It will be interesting to see when the last records of each of these will be this year.
I got a few of the Common Blue to share with you, and use these examples to show a technique that I use a lot, and that I have mentioned before.
Get your first shot in while you are not anything like as close as you want to be.
Then get a bit closer and get a couple more, then do the same and then the same again.
You never know when you are going to scare your subject so a gradual approach means you slowly get an improving shot.
What this also shows in the wider shot is the habitat - in this case Birds Foot Trefoil, with both flower and seed heads. Now the first is very messy, but the approach I have used shows that you can work your background, and of course the closer you get, the better the depth of fields effects become, throwing more of the clutter out of focus for a more pleasing perspective.
Both taken with the 5D and Canon 180 f3.5L macro.......as usual
