EREBIA ALBERGANUS
Family: Nymphalidae
Subfamily: Satyrinae
As we don't have a side view from this rather seldom european butterfly, which only occurs in Northern Spain, the alpine areas,the Apennine and Bulgaria, I thought I might show it.
For a long time I didn't dare show pictures of Erebia butterflies, because it is so difficult to take a good picture of them. We have two specialist on TN for this kind of butterflies, Peter Roos and Peter Stoeckl.I would like to dedicate this picture to both of them and thank a lot for their so precious contributions on TN.

Hello Anne
What an interesting capture of this rare Erebia! A hardly seen species. Even if there is some noise the details on the wings are perfectly seen, and the composition is very good.

Hello Anne,
This is a fine capture of this very beautiful little butterfly. I like its pose on the grass and details are quite clear and it stands out against the soft background. Personally I would have cropped it bit more on the left though.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hello Ann,
A beautiful Satyrinae. Very nice shot. I like the color tone an the mood of the picture. POV and composition are great. TFS,
JC

Bonito ejenplar Anne, con belleza y suavidad en los colores. Ligeramente justa de enfoque y algo
de ruido electrónico pero una belleza de toma en general.

Bonjour Anne!
Très belle image de ce joly papillon. J'aime particulièrement la lumière et les détails très bien rendus du papillin. L'arrière plan possède des couleurs SUPERBES!!! Il y a un peu de bruit numérique, j'ai tenté de l'enlever sur un Workshop. J'espère que tu aimeras.
BRAVO ET MERCI!

Hello Anne,

Ciao Anel,
complimenti per questa foto di E. alberganus.
Hai ragione, non è facile fotografare le Erebia.
Ancora più difficile è distinguere le diverse specie, tutte molto simili.
Per questo apprezzo molto la tua foto, che mi permette di riconoscere i caratteri di questa specie.
Grazie,
Marcello

Good evening Anne :)
This photo is great!
The sharpness is impeccable and conserves a lot of detail.
Perfect DOF as well.
I would have cropped in closer to the butterfly but otherwise the photo is brilliant!
Well done,
Joe

Guten Abend Anne,
vielen Dank für die nette Widmung! Dazu noch mit einem Erebia-Bild!
... du sagst es, diese braunen Falter sind im Gebirgslicht fotografisch schwer darzustellen. Auf deinem Bild erkennt man aber alle Charakteristika der Art sehr gut und sie wird dadurch sofort identifizierbar. Ich glaube, dass ich aus dem letzten Sommer ein Bild einer südtiroler alberganus habe (qualitativ glaube ich nicht so gut, ich shaue nach). Nichtsdestoweniger, würde ich dein Bild gerne in ein geplantes Erebia-Thema aufnehmen. Ich denke, du hast nichts dagegen.
Schöne Grüße, Peter

Hello Anne,
Nice capture of E. alberganus, an interesting species of Erebia as both under and uppersides of the wings are similar in appearance. Though a little noisy, the butterfly itself shows sharply and contrasts well against the OOF natural green BG.
Fine dedication to our two butterfly Peters.
Well done and thanks,
Ivan

Gute Abend, Anne.
Die mandeläugige Erebia, von Dir so zart und treffend als unscheinbare Elfe im schattig tiefen Grün der Alpenwiese präsentiert, macht mir große Freude. Danke für diese schöne, stimmungsvolle Präsentation und die liebenswürdige, so ehrenvolle Widmung.
Mit herzlichen Grüßen,
Peter

Hi Anne,
lovey subdued lighting and a great composition too, the DOF is perfect abd you've got some lovely detail. A fine dedication to two of TN's finest :o)

Hello Anne,
A fine macro shot producing good details in the insect!
Fine textures and attractive colours, DOF is good and isolates the butterfly well...
A nice composition with a fine feeling of depth!

Hi Anne.
I like elegant shot of the cute subject, its soft impressive lighting and delicate colour palette. Texture reproduction and details of the butterfly are simply amazing as well as the smoothness and coloration of the BG. Only some noise is visible a little bit. My compliments and best wishes.

Liebe Anne,
Du schreckst vor nichts zurück! Jetzt wagst Du Dich an Erebia und das erfolgreich. Du weisst natürlich, dass dies nicht Dein bestes Bild ist. Du hast das Bild in TN auf 60 kB begrenzt, bei 200 kB wäre aber die Auflösung besser.
Herzlich grüsst Dich
Dieter

Hello Anne,
Another great shot of rather rare butterfly. I think the JPG compression level is set too high but all the other details are OK.

Chris

Hello Anne, This composition is pleasant to look at. The sharpness and focus of the subject is excellent on that single grass and just stunning against the muted green background. best regards. Jusni
