The male was in flight, and worrying the female who wasn't having any of it.
Shot today at 1/1250 f8 iso1600 with Sony A700, 70-210 'beercan'. Simple noise reduction on raw image with Photoshop, colour 25% luminance 30% masking 8%

Very neat shot, tried to get similar shots a lot, but with no results.

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.

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.

And apologies to those of you that have sent me pics to fill in some of the gaps - I'll get to it now
Cheers,

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.
