One of those lucky shots!

Brimstone fly pretty slowly when courting and I just switched my camera to shutter priority, selected 1/1500s and fired away (handheld). I probably took 10 or so shots and this was the best!

Cheers,

Just want to point out someting here. I really have no trouble. I was around 5-10cm or so away when I took this one! Maybe the wet weather made its wings a bit wet. I amost stood on it, never seen it! It did not move much for a while, then flew away.
