Skipper

[DigiDi]

I'm not really sure the name of this one. I didn't get a good look at the wings when it flew away. But by the side view of the wing, it maybe a Fiery Skipper. Took this photo this afternoon. I had my 100mm macro lens on with an ND4 filter.

Very nice capture, is a skipper allright and you have done well by it. The ND4 filter, what does it do? There is a purple cast to the background, is that created by the filter or is that the background.

Hi Dennis, The Neutral Density Filter is like putting on a pair of sunglasses when out shooting during mid-day. The color cast was also the bokeh that the lens made and the color of the asters in the area. This filter is by PROMASTER. Diane

Nice shot. Deadly sharp and great colors.
