Nice shot, Igor - I wish I saw more monarchs. I can spend days in remote 
fields and never see them at all and then go into Chicago and they are 
all over the place (in the summer of course, not now...) No need t 
motion stopping spray - just follow them around till they decide to take 
a break (which for a butterfly is about 30 seconds of inactivity)...

I should've closed down the aperture father, instead of keeping it at 4.0

Hi Dave:  It’s a very pretty specimen, but I’m going disagree with Bruce a bit; 
I find the shadow a bit distracting—but maybe I’m just wrong :-.  Still, 
having tried for butterflies, I know how difficult it is and you got a good one

I knew someone would ID it, thanks for that.  I've updated the description to

Thanks to everyone who commented.  I thought the shadow might provoke differing 
opinions :)

The butterflies in the display were pretty tame and were quite happy to land on 
people so getting close was easier than usual.  The hard part was finding ones 
that were settling in a good place and remaining still.

Thanks, Bruce!

We have several butterfly bushes, and they are all thriving in the wet
humid weather.   We have some butterflies already, but very few
hummers so far.

I have always had difficulty photographing butterfly bushes, partly
because one end is turning brown before the other end has burst into
bloom.  This was one of the best set of blooms that wasn't too high on
the bush to be reached.

Thanks, Bruce, Steven, Bob, Don, Ann and Larry, for you kind comments.

The plant is a butterfly bush (Buddleja).  The lens was my smc DA
28-135 f3.5-5.6 AL [IR] DC WR.  That's what it says on the lens;  I
have no idea what all the letters mean.  G  This bush is quite
large, and the butterflies move so quickly that I have only been able
to catch them with a zoom lens, and this one seems to have the most
appropriate range of focal lengths for that purpose.

I did crop it a bit, to remove a dead blossom, but I think I will go
back to the original file and try a slightly different crop, using
your suggestions.

Doesn't have to be super-sharp in my books. I think it's gorgeous. That bokeh

Hi all,

It's not exactly the sharpest or best composed photo, but I finally
managed to capture my first shot of a butterfly on the wing and just
felt the need to share.

If you scroll down, the abstract is available for free and in plain

some American butterfly, but I thought you perhaps would have found

Damnifiknow. The link you posted wants money, and I refuse to pay to
read. I've never heard of temperature differences causing wing color
differences. Monarchs live in every temperate climate and overwinter
in Mexico, none of the photographs I've seen from their winter quarters
have ever shown a particularly large color variation. On the other hand
the difference between the colors I saw in Walters photo and mine were
reminiscent of the difference I observed when I converted to jpeg on a

Is there natural variation in Monarch wing color?
I did a quick google search and came across a scientific study of
monarchs reared at different temperatures in a lab. The article is
mostly concerned with larva colour, but also mentions that adult
females from populations grown in warmer conditions become darker than
usual.

Re: PESO-Butterfly Encounter

2008-06-26 Thread P. J. Alling

Oh yes I did. The abstract was quite interesting, if you read closely
the hypothesis was that the insect would be darker in cold climates to
help the insects keep warm. The quot and the position in the abstract
that tells me how much this hypothesis is worth is this one

Across all populations, monarch larvae developed the darkest
coloration in the cold treatment and were lightest when reared in hot
temperatures. Similar results were observed for measures of adult wing
melanism, /with the exception of adult females, which developed darker
colored wings in warmer temperatures./
Hum, damn near half of the experimental population showed the reverse
adaptation. Perhaps there is another explanation. In the current
question as to whether this effect is great enough to make as big a
difference as seen between Walters butterfly shot and mine, or whether
processing or perhaps color space caused the difference, the abstract
doesn't tell us that. In fact it tells little or nothing at all.

In case you missed the post, the butterfly in question is not a
Monarch but a Queen. It has a darker more chocholate coloring.

I didn't miss the post, you're right of course, if it's a queen
butterfly the comparison to the coloring of monarchs is not relevant,
and my suggestion is moot. In the word of Emily Latella Nevermind.

Hum, damn near half of the experimental population showed the reverse
adaptation. Perhaps there is another explanation. In the current
question as to whether this effect is great enough to make as big a
difference as seen between Walters butterfly shot and mine, or whether
processing or perhaps color space caused the difference, the abstract
doesn't tell us that. In fact it tells little or nothing at all.

what we were really comparing apples and oran..., well no more like
oranges and tangerines.

Peter,
Maybe it's a bit overexposed, but not more than 1/2 stop.
The leaves it sits on look too bright, but bright sunlight can do that,
as well as backlight the wings.  This shot is very good.

Sorry Ken, I should have read a little clearer there. That is your
photo. To make my comment a bit clearer. The color of the underside of
the wing is a bit more muted yet lighter, like it was coated with a very
thin layer of whitewash than the upper wing surface of the monarch,
(which is easily seen in the sample). Your photo is showing the lower
wing surface and the color is rendered closer to what the upper surface
as seen here.

http://www.mindspring.com/~happydogsoftware/monarchgallery/monarch4.html

That is a very good photo no doubt about it. The butterfly's wing color
just seems off.

Walter, the link didn't work for me but I was able to see the photo from
the previous version going to the gallery. Yes that's closer to the
right shade of Orange. You've punched up the color a bit but still more
what I would expect. I wish I could have gotten that close to the
Monarchs I photographed last year, but they were too skittish.

The changed image can be accessed by closing the displayed image at that
link and displaying the local gallery. You can then open the changed
image. It's a bit brighter overall than I think it should be but the
color of the butterfly is much closer to what it should be.

Re: PESO-Butterfly Encounter

2008-06-25 Thread Walter Hamler

Peter, if you look at the pic Bob posted of the butterfly that looks
like mine, it is not a Monarch, but a cousin, the Queen Butterfly. I
believe the simple answer to the problem is that the butterfly I
shot is in fact a Queen Butterfly. I will ask the folks tomorrow at
the nursery as they are pretty knowledgable on the subject.

Thanks all for the input and comments. It's been fun.

Damnifiknow. The link you posted wants money, and I refuse to pay to
read. I've never heard of temperature differences causing wing color
differences. Monarchs live in every temperate climate and overwinter
in Mexico, none of the photographs I've seen from their winter quarters
have ever shown a particularly large color variation. On the other hand
the difference between the colors I saw in Walters photo and mine were
reminiscent of the difference I observed when I converted to jpeg on a
few images without first converting to the correct color space.

Really a well caught shot. The DOF issue with macros is somewhat reduced by the
