Early Morning Sharpenhoe

I was interested in the effect of shade, cloud and direct sunlight on the colours and appeal of images. Clouds covered the sun when we arrived at Sharpenhoe yesterday morning but these cleared as the sun came above the ridge. All single shots except image 10 which is a focus stack of 10 images.

Dorset - Cerne Abbas Butterflies and Moths

A walk up the Long Man Hill at Cerne Abbas produced all the target species  - Forester moth, Burnet moth, Grizzled and Dingy Skipper,  Marsh Fritillary, Common Blue and Adonis Blue. The first image of the Forester in quaking grass is one of my favourites of the holiday.
