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 (vedi anche WORKSHOP, in cui si può notare anche il diverso risultato in relazione all’angolazione rispetto alla fonte d’illuminazione) con diverse posture sia ad ali chiuse che semiaperte.

Hi Maurizio,

I was expecting another fabulous Kingfisher but this beautiful butterfly is not a disappointment. How strange to see it posing on a wire!! I love the deep rich colors and the razor sharp details. The background blends so well with the Two Tailed Pasha and yet it stands out very well. Absolutely beautiful.

Hi Maurizio!

This picture is outstanding! First, I had to get used to the barbwire, but finally I find it particular and different from what we are used to. The lighting and the colours are superb, and it would be difficult to say which one of the two is better. I also like your explanations to the way you took this picture.

Kind regards

The dark colours give a wonderful atmosphere in this photo. Splendid well saturated colours also in the BG. Excellent sharpness, details and composition. Great POV. Also a nice WS.

Hi Maurizio,

Hello Maurizio,
thanks for you support and veery motivating critics on my caladium. I really appreciate it, very much.
your butterfly shot is very special. Besides being very sharp and clear, with shallow Dof, the subject gives a very special feeling...feeling of suspense.
Excellent shot with nice composition.
Very special shot.

Foozi

What a beautiful buttefly!!
The colours and patterns on it are stunning!
Very sharp with great detail.
Slightly dark but that's the only downside.
Well composed.
Great DOF.

Well done,
Joe

in questa foto oltre alla bellezza della farfalla con i suoi magnifici dettagli,
mi piace molto il cromatismo del Bg che si
abbina molto bene con i colori delle ali della
Charaxes...Maurizio,ma per scovare questa specie isolana ti sei dovuto fare delle scarpinate nell'entroterra?
buona serata sERGIO

Hello Maurizio

The details are sharp and the eyes are amazing.
Nicely composed in the frame.
