    Default Orange tip butterfly (Anthocharis cardamines)

    Image captured in my back garden in late afternoon light. The dark background is shaded area. I was set to f5.6 because I had been photographing bees, I was originally in tending to get this butterfly at take off, which I did but the head wasn't sharp. I think I will use a smaller aperture for butterflies but it would not be possible to get both wigs in focus in focus when in a position like this unless I focus stacked or focus bracketed, and this would require good fortune!

    A nice view of this feeding butterfly. The vertical framing is nice as well.
