Freezing the action
The male was in flight, and worrying the female who wasn't having any of it.

Re: Freezing the action
Very neat shot, tried to get similar shots a lot, but with no results.
Cheers all,

Re: Freezing the action
Thanks both. I haven't done much with high iso yet so it's a bit of a learning curve to see just what I can get away with.

Re: Freezing the action
Very impressive!
With a bit of patience and luck you could probably get some ups shots of heaths, graylings, hairstreaks (green, white-letter and black) and clouded yellows for this site!
We've got to work on those 'no image available' signs.

Re: Freezing the action
I did try to get a brimstone male upper earlier in the year but it wasn't very good. I got lucky with this one because I was able to focus on the female who was at rest. As for black and white letter hairstreaks ANY shots of those would be a bonus. I made a concerted effort to track down WLH this year but the elms have been dropping like flies.
