Rain is pissing down from a gray sky outside as I post this.
To make sure I don't forget what summer and blue skies and proper daylight are like, I'm going to do a short series on butterflies in The Netherlands, starting with the European peacock (Aglais io), dagpauwoog in Dutch.
Not a rare butterfly at all, this one, but a real looker:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO100, f5.6, 1/500s
Olympus Stylus 1s, 200mm, ISO200, f8, 1/320s
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO100, f5.6, 1/1250s
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f8, 1/200s
Olympus Stylus 1s, 200mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/400s
Olympus XZ-1, 112mm, ISO100, f5.6, 1/160s
Even the shutter speeds remind me of summer.
Thanks for watching!
