Ringlet butterfly on an ear of barley in east Galway a few months ago.
Mike Brown gave a talk at the Galway Camera Club – as usual, the standard of his wildlife pictures was superb. For snappers such as myself, it’s always good to see what the best are doing – to help us raise our game. Now all I need is a bit of time and a bit of sunshine…
Camera=Canon 5D, lens= Sigma 180mm macro, ISO=400, aperture=f5, speed=1/250th sec.

Especially nice background and bokeh for it on that one.
