Hi All,

1st post, am new, was just wondering if anyone of the butterfly enthusiasts could identify this species that I managed to get an interesting macro off....

Shot was taken in Brunei using a handheld Nikon D90, 105/2.8G Micro-Nikkor.

Regards,

Saimee

thats an interesting close up, but without either the top or underside of the wing details, its almost impossible to get the ID.
furthermore, its taken in Burnei...

I have a few more pics of the whole insect which are uncropped. I'll dig them out of my other hard drive later and post them.

I have no idea, but isn't it possible that there are quite a few species common within SE Asia?. Thanks for replying.

yes, there are some common within south east asia, they range from india to hong kong to indonesia, but there are many variations, in singapore we have 290+ species and increasing slowly, and thousands in the entire South East Asia. most of us here are more familar with the butterflies of the peninsular of malaysia, but it wouldnt harm to see what u've captured!

Mark,

These are excellent series by any standard!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Top notch composition, clarity and creamy background are now your trademark!

You have done very very well since you started butterfly photography a year back.


Cheers!

thanks for the kind words Sunny. after trailing after u for so long, i surely have to pick up some of ur traits as well! all those help i got out in the field for adjusting angle for creamy backgrounds and hand holding techniques have certainly worked. got to buy u a round of beer next time for all the patience man!

Mark,

#3 is a top top shot!!! where the conventional wisdom of dun put your subject in the center and the two thirds rules does not apply:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Level the forewing , balance the space left and right to put it dead center, cleanup the blemishes and this shot is fit to hang on any wall !
