Polyommatus icarus.

It’s a small butterfly with gleaming blue upper part, narrow black line near the edges and white tassel. The lower part is grey brown with black, wit rim spot and a range orange spots along the edges of the behind wings. Females are of above brown, with some blue and orange spots. The span of the wings is about 25 mm. In the Netherlands they live everywhere in the country. You must seek them, but if you do, you will find them. In one year comes 1 till 3 new generations out of the eggs.



The butterflies and the caterpillars suck nectar. They get it from flowers from difference sorts of spice. Some of the caterpillars try to over live the winter, and comes in spring out of the cocoons. The further development goes afterwards very fast, of generation on generation. There very many blue ones exist and it is often a laborious work, distinguish them of each other. A lake or less clear blue colour to the upper part, and small spots around the eyes, is to base is all types own. The caterpillars of some types become by fiddle visited, because the sweet juice which they break away.

Today I go farther. I try 800 asa out, with this 70-300 mm lens and the canon close up lens 5ooD. This last one you can use as a filter, you can screw it up.
I used it together with a speedlight 420 ex. You know I get pleasure in it, because it's working. Later I go farther with the experiment. I hope you like it

Hello Jaap,
A different approach and I like the way you always fill the the frame with the flowers!
Butterfly is a beauty, captured with great details and fine natural colours...
Well done on composition!

Back on the yellow theme :). I love common blues and this is a nice shot. Interesting POV, great details and a nice composition

HI Jaap,

I also love to see such a beautiful arrangement, you both have so much luck.
Wonderful shot, thanks and bye bye.

Dag Jaap.
Een erg mooi kleurenpallet, mooi van scherpte, een genot om naar te kijken. Prima zo.

Thank you Jaap!
I know many tropical butterflies but this one is my favorite from all. It is another excellent shot from you Jaap. Excellent POV, framing and brilliant colours. Great exposure and note too. It´s an excellent presentation my friend. Enjoy the rest of the week my friend.

The yellow is so vibrant in this image. The butterfly is sharp and pleasant. Wonder what the little bug is in the bottom of the frame? Nice job

Hello Jaap!

Tiny butterfly and yellow flowers - it always work very well together. Good macro, I like butterfly, but this time flowers are even better than insect. Sunny picture.

Fantastische foto Jaap. Ik weet niet precies wat ik het mooiste onderwerp vind: de prachtige vlinder of de mooie, gele bloemen. De details in de bloemen zijn erg goed. Kleuren zijn ook perfect. Goed gedaan en TFS!

Groet,
Pieter

Hello Jaap,
It's a lovely composition, beautiful butterfly and those lovely flowers. Lovely light and good detail, excellent colours. I like the bonus fly at the bottom of the image too :-) It's a great result for ISO 800 too. Hernan (saguzar) is also getting great results with a home-made macro kit. Excellent work.
Regards,
Adrian

Dag Jaap,

Dit zijn inderdaad die kleintjes die hier bij ons op deze bloemen regelmatig te zien zijn, maar dan nog fotograferen hé, dat heeft u opnieuw met grote klasse gedaan in een positie zoals ik ze zeer graag zie.
Kleuren en samenstelling zeer mooi!
Nu zijn de metingen binnen van de gevallen regen in 11 uur = 160mm in Maldegem

Groeten,
John

Bonjour Jaap, bien belle composition pleine de fraicheur et de lumiére.Colors are gorgeous and sharpness perfect also. Well done and happy weekend, Didier.

Hi Jaap,
unusual but very nice POV.
Good details, well composed and nice colours.
Well done, my friend.

Hoi Jaap,
De kleuren combinatie en de licht maken deze foto voor mij. Natuurlijk de vlinder en alle mooie details in de vlinder en bloemen, maar voor al het licht is super. Volgens mij heb je close up lens volledig on de controle, want de resulaten zijn erg mooi. Zag je dat je nog een insect te pakken had?
Groeten,
Niek

Hello Jaap,
Very nice capture.POV,colors,details,BG and composition are wonderful.
TFS..:-)

This is a really good photo because both of the main subjects (the flowers and the butterfly) are very attractive. It's a very nice composition and shows us more of the butterfly's natural surroundings than we usually see. Excellent DOF and exposure as well.

Hi Jaap.
Excellent macro shot. I like the crisp sharpness and great details of the flowers and butterfly, nice delicate colour palette and perfect composition of whole picture. You have selected DOF perfectly: BG is really amazing in its blurriness and soft pleasant to eye colour tones. My best wishes and TFS.
Alexei.
