Six Spot Burnet
-
Not a macro just a close up..ish shot of a Six Spot Burnet moth on a little
seaside wild flower. Not particularly sharp either, I dont know why I bothered really :lol:
Hi Jenny.
It might not be ultra sharp, but it’s a very nice find. Great coloursDon’t go putting yourself down! The butterfly (is it a butterfly or a moth?) looks sharp enough, and I’ve never seen one of those before, so I think it’s good!
Sometimes Jenny we dont have to have everything pin sharp for it to be a nice shot. This looks good and the colours are bang on. This was the first moth I photographed and spent about an hour doing a dance with them trying to capture one.
:lol: :lol: Thanks guys, feeling a bit apathetic I suppose, the beach is full of them
in late June and July, and they are daytime moths, though pretty enough for a butterfly,
they are very flighty but this one must have found an untapped supply of nectar as he
stayed there for quite a while, so no excuses for not being sharp….well maybe it was
windy :wink:Thanks again!
Six spot Burnets are beautiful arent they?
For those of you living in Louth- Clogherhead is a great spot for them.
If you want to find them- just look for the Ragwort flower- they quite like the Ragwort flower.A good time to photograph them is after a shower of rain- makes them a bit more sluggish.
