The Canary red admiral, Vanessa vulcania was thought to be a subspecies of the Indian red admiral, Vanessa indica. Recent studies have decided however that it is a separate species in its own right. (Leestman 1992, based on differences in wing pattern and shape and small differences in male genitalia).

Hello Vicma excellent pov and sharp focus on the eye. Lovely smooth background, superb considering it was 1/50 sec IS worked well. tfs rgds Necip.

Hi Vicma,

Another stunning close-up shot. The details annd textures in thhe wing are amazing to look at and the plant forms a very good base to the shot. Good composition, great pov and perfect dof.

Hi Vicma,
I think that this is the first time I see a picture of a butterfly that makes eye contact with the photographer; this is funny! How could you take this picture at 1/50 sec? Butterflies usually move a lot, aren't they? Colors and composition are very nice. Did you use noise reduction on its wings or is it the effect of the F5.6 aperture? Thanks,
Claudine

Hola Víctor,
Bella especie, parecida a V. brasiliensis que tenemos aqui. Una nueva especie que descubro.
Saludos

Hi Vicma,
Nice seeing this colorful butterfly. Great color clarity and very nice soft background. A pleasure to look at this picture.

Vaya... la flora y fauna canaria tienen unas especies que desconozco por completo. Preciosa Vanessa. Me ha recordado un día que estuve contemplando como un macho posado espiaba el cielo buscando hembras o competidores y cada vez que veía algo volar subía a toda velocidad para interceptarlo... una vez pasó un pájaro y subió solo un par de metros hasta darse el susto y volver rápido a su posadero. Con esa apariencia frágil en realidad son bichos muy fuertes.

Hi Vicma,
splendid shot very well composed , wonderfull colours and background, of course technically perfect,

Hello Vicma,
Even though the underwing is rather blurred it is a lovely shot in beautiful soft colours, showing the butterfly from a nice angle and against a beautiful background.
Many thanks, Ulla

Hello Vicma,

Beautiful shot of this butterfly. Nice perch against the clear background. Excellent details around the head.

Excellent shot Vicma!
The shallow DOF is really artistic.
Great sharpness considering the low shutter-speed and good clarity.
Nice colours.
Well done,
Joe

Hi Vicma,
Very good light & color, I like the POV & composition.
Well focused at the head where it must be. The short DOF has produced a nice BG, great work @ 1/50th.

Fine capture of Vanessa vulcania, the indigenous Canary Islands Admiral with a fine POV, sharpness and composition against a pleasing BG. You made good use of flash with the poor light.
Estupendo!

Hola Vicma,

Me gusta mucho la profundidad de campo y todas las gradaciones de color y formas que conseguiste.
Funciona muy bien la composición con la rama entrando por ese vértice inferior derecho.
Enhorabuena y gracias por compartir la foto.

Hi Vicma,

What a great pose of this butterfly you shot, very rare that we can appreciate such details from the front. Usually my eyes go right to the wings as for this amazing picture I'm captivated by the excellent details in the face, eye... What a great shot, congratulations!

Lise

Reminds me of the Venessas I shot last summer in the hills of India, Vicma.
Very good POV and details on the butterfly.

Hi Vicma,
super sharp detail and focus, the background is a beautiful tone and the texture and colour of the plant in the foregrounf is very nice too. Great shot.

Muy buenas Victor,
Que preciosidad de mariposa, qué gran suerte que la tengais por ahí y que afortunada soy yo de que puedo verla a través de tí. Veo tu imagen y también me siento triste porque recuerdo que cuando yo era pequeña había muchísimas más mariposas de las que hay ahora por aqui... y las quedan, están como apagadas porque van sin casi colores... bueno, esperaré a la primavera, a ver si alguna resurge !!!
Un abrazo,
Cristina

bonjour vicma

le BG est particulierement bien reussi.
bravo.

Hi Juyona,
A nice capture of this beautiful red admiral. Very well captured with excellent details and composition. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Muy buenas Victor.
Una gran foto de una mariposa muy bonita, con un fondo precioso, el cien cuatrocientos con un anillo de extension para poder enfocar más cerca es fabuloso para realizar macros, sobre todo cuando las especies a fotografiar son grandes.
Un abrazote.
El trabajo va remitiendo..... pero todavía queda para rato, pero ya no al mismo ritmo que los últimos meses.

Hi Vicma!

It's difficult not to be touched by your pictures and it's a pleasure to go through your gallery!

This picture here pleases because of the richness of the details and the colors, accentuated by the blurred background.

Kind regards

Interesting head part of this little fellow!

Hello Vicma,
Another nice shot of vulcania. If you would like you can put this picture on my website: European Butterflies and Moths. I don't have full set of pictures of this species yet ;-)
If you can add any information - you're also welcome.
