Hello all, These are the first lycaenidae sp of the year and these days I found some new colonies. This image was captured late evening at 20:55 PM on a very cloudy day.I decided to use a remote flash a few meters away, just to punch up the contrast and create the rim light around the subject.Also the slow sutther speed helps to reveal more details around the butterfly. I hope you´ll like it. best wishes from Madrid, Remus

Hello all, This is Pandora, a beautiful butterfly which I chased it all the past week. I captured it in different poses which I´ll post them in the next days. I hope you enjoy the first one. Best all from Madrid, Remus

Hello all, Sorry ...is my first post here after long time and I´m not sure I did it well. This image was captured this past spring in a very cold morning.A pair of beautiful Eucera longicornis solitary bee species. I was quite pleased by the background colours because of the green fields but this is just on springtime. After a month or so everything is dry but this is it! What can we do? I hope you enjoy it, Remy

Hello all, Well..this is one of our most common mantis species-they´re everywhere. I took this shot with the my 5D MkII thinking to give it some oportunity to work a bit(I´m a deep fan of my 550D ) and I was surprised by the effect achived using the Liveview option. I also have the same shot with "good" exposure taken through the viewfinder but the contrast focus of the Live View works fine (at least I guess) on this one. I was pleased by the misterious dark ambiance. I hope you enjoy

Hello there, One of the biggest ground spiders in Europe.They are called South France spider also but I was lucky to find it right here(Madrid-Valdemoro) on my bike routes.It is a very fast creature but after a few second of running it´s stopped for a few seconds and this gave me some instants to take a few shots of it.I hope you like it, Remus
