Metterschling

 

meet Inachis io, or European peacock (Tagpfauenauge in German, paon du jour in French) - he flitted in front of my lens last Sunday.

  1. What an incredible photograph! The colors are lovely and the picture itself is remarkable.

  2. Thanks, but that's easy to do with a butterfly - all you need is a wide-open aperture (for the blurry background) and for the damn thing to hold still!

  3. I'm a photography idiot, which I have no excuse to be since my aunt and father were both exceptional.

    Oh well.
