Now I'm at 100


Brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni), originally uploaded by jiihaa.

This butterfly was hanging to the flower in quite a wind, flipping from side to side and not letting go. But it was also quite unafraid, so I managed to take many photos of it.

Here also the wide depth of field shows the background (including the walking path) clear enough to somewhat limit the enjoyment of the main attraction in the photo. But such is the behaviour of small-sensor compact cameras. Also the automatics of the camera were a factor, using f/7.1. And Ixus 400 has no manual control.

PS. This it the 100th posting at Light Scrape.
