Gatekeeper Butterfly at Wigan Flashes

Gatekeeper Butterfly at Wigan Flashes

July 24th, 2011

Took advantages of the sunny weather this weekend and went for a walk around the Wigan Flashes. It’s not an area I’ve been to before, but will definitely go again for the photographic opportunities.

This image is of a Gatekeeper butterfly (Pyronia tithonus), of which there were plenty around. The gatekeeper, also known as a Hedge Brown, is one of the more common meadow butterflies in England.

A small aperture was used in order to ensure sufficient depth of field on this image.

Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mk II w/ Sigma 70-300mm DG OS @ 300mm;    Exposure: 1/250th sec @ f14;     ISO: 1000
