La fotografia
La mia esperienza diretta con questa farfalla non è stata particolarmente difficile, dopo due sporadiche occasioni di avvistamento infruttifero (dal punto di vista fotografico) nella zona abitata di San Teodoro e il fortunato incontro sull’isola di Spargi, mi sono recato in un suo tipico areale, ricoperto di macchia mediterranea con la presenza molto abbondante di corbezzoli, e ho potuto scattare numerosissime fotografie ed ogni volta che mi sono dedicato alla sua ricerca ho incontrato e fotografato più esemplari, in situazioni e pose diverse. In Sardegna si può considerare quindi una farfalla localmente comune. Ho scattato questa immagine nella zona del monte Nieddu. Ho osservato in più occasioni che questa farfalla si posa facilmente anche sul filo spinato (altra immagine) con diverse posture sia ad ali chiuse che semiaperte. La particolarità di questa immagine è nel punto e nel tipo di ripresa effettuata con una fotocamera compatta, che permettono di apprezzare alcune caratteristiche della parte anteriore di questa splendida farfalla. La visione è di tipo grandangolare, ma la profondità di campo non è sufficiente a tenere perfettamente a fuoco anche la parte più lontana dall’obiettivo delle ali. La regolazione automatica della fotocamera mi ha impedito di agire su tempi e diaframmi. Da notare comunque che con una certa cautela e con una certa pratica ci si avvicina a molte farfalle a distanze incredibili anche frontalmente.

Hi Maurizio,

How unusual is this to see a butterfly posed on wires? A magnificent close-up with a wonderful view of the shape, face and markings. Colors are beautiful and look superb against the blue sky.

ciao Maurizio

Jacqueline

ciao Maurizio!
effettivamente mancava la presa frontale dove
si vede il tubicino avvolto...
il cromatismo e il disegno delle ali di questa specie e' unica e spero un giorno di poterla fotografare...buona domenica

Hello Maurizio, This is a fine closeup of the butterfly. The closeup shot is beautiful and sharp. Ganesh

Una imagen impresionante Maurizio, en especial el primer plano. El ángulo de disparo era bastante complicado y además a contraluz, pero resolviste muy bien la situación.
Un saludo: Josep Ignasi.

Hello Maurizio !
Usually I do not like barbed wires, but here, of course, I like it - or more exactly, I like the butterfly sitting on it ! :-) It's really a gorgeous species, and he is standing out soc nicely against this beautiful blue sky ! Excellent sharpness and details, too. Very well done !
Valérie.

Hi Maurizio,
eye-catching monumentally powerful capture of this majestic butterfly, closely approached from an interesting point of view.
The light is shaping structures very well, adding to the powerful appearance.
Impressingly close approach, clever use of a compact camera!
With thanks, and best regards,
Peter
