Colour Challenge: Wildflowers (with guest star)

in colorchallenge •  7 years ago 

This sufficiently orange-flowered plant is called tansy (Tanacetum vulgare), boerenwormkruid in Dutch; it is very popular with insects, and they can find food here until fairly late in the season.

The guest star today is a holly blue (Celastrina argiolus), boomblauwtje in Dutch:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 195mm, ISO100, f5.6, 1/400s

A portrait shot from up close, note the focal length:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO125, f8, 1/160s

Here it is showing a bit of the top of its wing, where the blue sits that gave it its name:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO100, f5.6, 1/800s

Thanks for watching!
