Mating Common Pierrot

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted October 28, 2010476 views12 comments

These butterflies are quite common here in India but the problem to photograph them is their small size, i saw these couple in nature's act & carefully & very slowly went round them to get an cleaner bg & light,
I had to get really close to fill the frame with em' & thank god they didn't fly away after 5 minutes of me setting up the shot

Av- 8, Tv- 60, ISO- 400, Tripod, Canon 100mm macro, ext tube 25mm, Crop- this about 75% of the original size
Species Name:- Common Pierrot (Castalius rosimon)
C & C welcomed

Krunal:
This is a very nice capture. Good job in getting the plane of sensor aligned to get these BF are nice and sharp. The perch is perfect and the background is real sweet. Congrats

Excellent image. The exposure on the blacks and whites are handled very well. Fine work.
