Khatib Bongsu on 11 Sept

Went to KB with Neo and CP this morning. It was a very hot day. We spotted quite a number of species in this outing. Here are three of them.

#1 : Spindasis syama terana (Club/Black Banded Silverline) - this is our surprise of the day.

#2 : Hypolycaena erylus teatus (Common Tit) - while moving closer towards the coast we saw many Common Tits.

#3 : Ideopsis vulgaris macrina (Blue Glassy Tiger) - we saw quite a number along the way.

Why so 'paiseh', we are all here to learn and appreciate b'flies.. yup, we were at USR

shoot more, improve more :bsmile:

Yah Federick, dun need to paiseh, u r definitely improving, the shots show it! :)

You should post into the 'Butterfly Photography' forum Fededrick ;P We are all just hobby photographers, not pros. So standard all sama-sama.

Cropping of the Common Tit shot a bit tight, would like to see more space at the top and bottom of the frame. It looks a bit compressed.

The Black-Banded Silverline composition could be different also. Application of 'Rule-of-Thirds' to make the composition more pleasing to they eye, and less of 'bullseye' effect.

Let's see the rest of the pictures! :hello:

The other one has a reddish streak around the silverline!

After checking carefully, yes, we have shot both Silverline. I remembered I spotted the Banded Silverline on our way out and at one moment it lie flat on a leaf but I could not produce good shot from my angle. I hope you and Neo got a better shot.
I think at that moment we did not think that it was LSL. :mad2: So when it flew away the second time we did not really chase after it.

Here is the record shot of the LSL.

Yeah, I also want to see.... :what:

Nice collections and shot you have. Sometimes posted bad pictures will make you want to work harder to improve especially when all of us are improving.
