Hello TN people!

Here in the central area of Venezuela, it is rare to walk out on the field, and not getting any butterfly to photograph. But the butterflies land on our hands, definitely not very common! butterflies abound here, but very few species are "quiet." However, this beautiful lycaenida (I'm working on finding the ID), yesterday landed almost on the fingers of my left hand. Things of God, I suppose! ...

Conditions:
----------
"Cloudy sky (good to use ISO 200).
-White balance mode set to
"cloudy"
-f/2.8, 1/400s
-Manual focus, with minor adjustment to AF (after adjustment in manual mode, the camera takes small corrections).
-Hand-held camera.
-Hand-held butterfly!

Thank you all for visiting and for sharing!

Hola Jesus,
this is really a beautiful little species but it will be hard to identify without the
knowledge of the upperside wing pattern. You know that the genera Thecla and Strymon, to which this
species probably belongs include several hundred different and often very similar species.
Best wishes, Peter

Luz e cores espectaculares.

Ciao Jesus,
fantastico piccolo licenide ripreso con grande nitidezza e bellissimi colori, deve essere una bella sensazione avere sulla mano una così minuta farfalla ed osservarla da così vicino.
Grazie e complimenti
Ciao Maurizio

Hi Jesus,

What an amazing shot! I have never seen a butterfly even brush by a person and this one landed on your finger! Gives us a wonderful perspective of his size. It is a beautiful little thing and so dainty looking. Excellent colors and details. You did well with only one hand. I love how you said, "Hand-held camera, hand-held butterfly.

Jane

Verry good and interesting yours capture.Good photo.Regards.Alin.

Hello Jesus,
Normally I don't like pictures with hands and fingers on it. But this little creature is too cute and if it has chosen your hand it must have had a reason!
A very nice neighbour to have!
Kind regards
Anne

Ciao Jesus. Sconoscita per me ma bellissima e perfettamante a fuoco. Un POV eccellente. Tecnica al TOP.

Roberto

Hello Jesus

Todo un espectáculo visual Jesús y desde luego vaya habilidad que tienes. Hablaban hace mucho tiempo ya maravillas en una web Francesa de esa serie de Cámaras de Canon... y qué razón tenían; eso sí, solo algunos le saben sacar este partido. Yo tuve una compacta de Canon hace años y realmente era mucho más sencilla de utilizar que este armatoste que tengo ahora de reflex y que siempre me da problemas por H o por B.
Excelente trabajo !!!

Un saludo: Josep Ignasi.
