Skippers - Large and Small

Large Skippers (Ochlodes sylvanus)










Small Skippers (Thymelicus sylvestris)








This below is the effect when you are (inadvertently) using a slow shutter speed and the subject decides to take off.

    May have been an accidentally slow shutter speed, but it created a lovely effect :)

    I've been shooting some skippers too. It is a fun thing to do on a summer's afternoon.

    Plenty of skippers on view here, more than I can remember actually, mostly of the small variety.

    I find skippers difficult to photograph properly so well done getting this super series of shots Roy :-)

    That last one has a lovely effect Roy and all your photos are as outstanding as always. Thanks for visiting me and correctly identifying the soldiers regiments and their attire. I enjoy it when blogging friends put me straight. Have a great weekend :)
