Common Name Common Tiger Longwing, Hecale's Longwing
Heliconius hecale
Lepidoptera: Heliconiidae
Range: Mexico to N. South America
Ours arrive from: El Salvador, Costa Rica, Suriname, Ecuador

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Food: Passiflora spp.

Notes: Longwing butterflies have very elongated wings and are slow fliers. Since the larvae feed on passionflower vines, which are poisonous, the adluts are also unpalatable and advertise this with warning colors. Warning colors include combinations of red, orange, yellow, and white with black or brown. Most unpalatable butterflies make themselves obvious to would-be predators by flying slow and landing fequently in the open.

It was differcult to find the right note.Oke my friends this is another from my experiment shots. 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. The shot is taken in a butterfly zoo.

By my last photo I said that the light wasd poor in the hal of the zoo. well this one I took by a little sunlight. And yes where I with the same speed last photo took at F5,6 I came here out on F14. And you can realy the difference. Oke it is another butterfly, I hope you like the shot to.

Great shot of this Heliconius and I particularly like the composition, the unusual sharp blue eye and the rolled-up proboscis.

I love the composition Jaap.
I know the short DOF of this lens, and you used it very well.
You adjusted the focus plane where it matters :)
It stands out very well. Best regards, MF.

Dag Jaap.
Deze staat er erg mooi op. Scherpte prima en een mooie POV. Als je kritisch kijkt, met f14 is de scherpte reschtsboven iets minder. Ik ben daar zelf over aan het puzzelen om, zeker bij libellen, alles scherp te krijgen en dat valt toch niet mee, het is mij nog niet gelukt. Maar deze staat er patent op.

Hi Jaap

Magnificent work! It's so crisp and clear! Excellent work on colors too! Nice job.

Another beautiful composition, fundamentally for their POV and coloring and the details of the head of the butterfly.

Hello Jaap,
This is excellent, such a shallow DOF for f/14 but you've managed it very well. Great detail and colours and I really like the composition, the way the leaf is at an angle and the Butterfly very vertical. It's unusual I think but it works, excellent work from you again my friend. I really like the shots you are producing with your lens combinations.
Best regards,
Adrian

Hallo Jaap,

U heeft mij geleerd in hoge F waarden te werken, en hier nog eens het bewijs als het licht het toelaat dit te doen, het is gewoon prachtig Jaap, en u weet dat ik met een argus oog de compostie bekijk niet om iets te corrigeren maar om iets te leren, want hier zit ik wel aan de bron om iets bij te leren. maar ik blijf even verwonderlijk dat u dit kan met de 70-300 lens u moet wel een zeer stevige of losse hand hebben.
Dit is weer klasse werk.

Groeten,
John

what a pretty butterfly, jaap! :-)
wonderful colors and perfect sharpness,
the black and white striped body is really cool,
like a prisoner´s shirt, and the black round eyes and
the spiral sucker are amazing.
thanks for your different aperture-exposure-time experiments,
really interesting and great to follow.
terrific job & take care, thorsten.

Yes, another butterfly, but a good one Jaap. Much better than mine!! He is so sharp with his fine legs and feelers. Well shown, thank you
Janice

Hi, Jaap.
You have a powerful collection of butterflies! Good composition and sharpness. Nice one again.

Hi Jaap,
This is a wonderful macro with excellent details. I love this composition, colors and the nice BG too. Well done :)

Nice shot Jaap,
Well focused and sharp where it needs to be, with acceptable fall-off.
Well composed and a great POV.
Very good color & light as well.
Well done mf.

Hi,

Good note too

Hi Jaap,
that experiment seems to work very well. The butterfly is clear and sharp, and there is a beautiful rapid falloff in sharpness to the rear. Composition is perfect, colours are cool and elegant. Thank you!
Best regards,
Peter

Dag Jaap,
Mooie compo.
De welving in het blad waarop ie zit is mooi;dit in combinatie met de scherptediepte.
