Marbled White

Reference: BU78
Location: Greywell Moors, Hampshire
Gallery: Butterflies,

In bright overcast light several amenable Marbled Whites allowed a close approach. I tried to shoot completely parallel to the butterfly’s wings so that I could use a wide aperture to blur the background. At f3.5, however, the whole butterfly wasn’t completely within the band of focus with the wing tips being soft. I later combined two images (focus stacking) to ensure that the butterfly was sharp throughout.
