Sharing a Few Butterflies Part III

[Bluesteel]

Sharing a pair of rare Lethe europa malaya (Bamboo Tree Brown) shot in the last couple of days.

This butterfly stays close to Bamboo cluster which is its hostplant. It is one of the most difficult butterfly to shoot due to the cluttered nature of its habitat and also it is very alert with a wide safety distance . At most time the photographer would be lucky to be able to approach him within 2 meters.

blurboiboi, your shots are great. when am i going to get a chance to learn to shoot like this from you? anyway this is a humble shot from today; too many visitors no chance to go far so can only shoot in the estate and sigh.... always the same kind of butt, need some exotic ones

Terry and Henry ,

Both your shots are improving by leaps and bounds over the last 2 weeks!!

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Keep them coming!

Cheers!

yeah i was at ubin =D
i used flash. cant remember how strong. usually -3. the sun was quite bright and the clouds always come on and off. so i think i adjusted slightly

Terry ,

Congratulation for nailing this elusive butterfly. ... That is a very good shot of the The Dark Blue Jungle Glory!

Many who have been shooting butterflies a number of years have yet to encounter or shoot one.

You lucky devil !!! Barely a few weeks into serious butterfly hunting and you got it nailed!!
