Thanks Clive. I'm always interested in good advice.Clive wrote:Hi Chris
I used a Canon 40D & 300 F4 IS L lens, F7.1 for the first shot & F8 for the other two ... that lens has a MFD of 1.5m & I find if I ease back a little from that I get better shots ...

Thank you Guypadfield wrote:Your id (i.e. brown argus) is correct, and the edited picture shows why quite perfectly. In common blue that pair of spots is more in line with the other spots in the series, rather than standing out like a colon.
The slight chequering of the fringe is another indicator.
