[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a female of the well known butterfly
- Anthocharis cardamines
- family: Pieridae

English: Orange Tip
German: Aurorafalter

Species Information
The Orange Tip is common species in Europe and also at TN. In contrast to the males, the forewing tips of the females does not show the bright orange patch. Instead, this area is black. Nevertheless, the pattern of the hindwing underside is beautiful in both sexes.
Usually the butterflies are very busy and hardly rest for a second. Fortunately, this kind female gave me the chance for a picture.

Location
A small nature reserve called Lengder Teiche north to the Harz-Mountains. Here, I also took my last posted picture of the damselfly.

Conditions
- bright natural light
.. nevertheless, I selected ISO 400 to achieve great depth of field
- handheld

Hello Peter,
Nice close up, excellent sharpness and depth

clarity, superb details, great pose and very good
background,

Nikos.

A beautiful side lighted capture Peter, the fine focusing and deep DOF produced a high degree of definition encompassing wing surfaces, body hairs, eyes and antennae, all nicely enhanced by the shady OOF BG. An exquisite composition indeed! TFS this fine scene my friend.

Lieber Peter,
Ich musste mir natürlich zuerst Dein Aurora-Weibchen ansehen, bevor ich mein Männchen auf eine so weite Reise schicke. Ich glaube, sie würde seinem Geschmack entsprechen.
Wünsche noch ein schönes Wochenende und hoffe von Dir zu hören, wenn Du ins Wallis kommst.
Herzliche Grüsse
Anne
