Take-off, a photo from Milan, Lombardia

Photographer's Note

A lucky photo, when the butterfly takes off at the exact moment when you click. Unfortunately the upper part remained a little moved despite a time of 1/2000. The species is an Issoria lathonia, very common in northern Italy.

Hello Luciano,
Fantastic timing to catch this wonderful butterfly just after take-off from the flower. Both look still really sharp with a nice touch of motion blur around the wings. Very well done.

Hello Luciano,
With some luck this was perfectly timed. The slight motion blur in the upper part of the wings is quite perfect too. It's a beautiful creature and especially I like to see its face. It looks scared, or maybe annoyed at being disturbed. ;-) As usual you managed a nicely blurred green background and included a well contrasting flower.
Best regards,
Gert

Bonjour Luciano,

L'envol de l'insecte a bien йtй capturй. La prise de vue permet de voir les dйtails du papillon Issoria lathonia. La lumiиre donne de belles teintes aux couleurx de l'image. Bonne soirйe.

Hi Luciano
What fabulously patterned wings. Well captured.
It almost has the look of a prehistoric creature.

Ciao Luciano,
There is something funny in this scene. The body of the butterfliy reminds me a chameleon with its giant appearing eyes here.
Fantastic moment, I have never seen a scene like this before.
Excellent quality,
M

Hello Luciano, an amazing shot with the body of the insect clearly visible. It’s unusual to see the butterfly from this angle, so well done.
The slight blur is not important compared with the quality of the rest of the shot.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hi Luciano
A beautiful portrait of this charming butterfly. Combines well with flowers in the foreground. You recorded it in a good moment. Clarity and exposure done well.

ChrisJ (172436) 2022-05-29 9:17

Ciao Luciano

In my opinion the slight motion blur of the wings actually enhances the shot by conveying rapid movement. Excellent sharpness on the other parts and the purple flower was an attractive launch pad! Tfs!

Hello Luciano,
Actually, I like the motion blur, it provides dynamism.

Ciao Luciano,
It's fascinating to see the butterfly in the air like this. The body looks a bit like an alien, and is a contrast to the wings, which everyone loves to admire. You had great timing to capture this scene. Take care!

adramad (73484) 2022-06-02 12:00

Hi luciano.
Wow ..... even more difficult, if you photograph butterflies is not easy, doing it in full flight is already masterful, although seen like this with the body more in the foreground it is not as attractive as seen from above with the beauty of the wings.
Great color that brings out the details of the image, the sharpness is excellent and the lighting is splendid.
Very good work. I like it a lot.
You have a good day. Very best regards.
Luis.
