The Orange-tip! My favorite butterfly!
Hi steemians!
The Orange-tip (Anthocharis cardamines) is a spring butterfly. I photographed this one in May on a photo trip in Sweden with a friend. This one just hatched I believe. It was really young and small and not afraid of us at all. Normally you can't photograph butterflies so close up in the middle of the day. They will fly away as soon as you get close. However, this one sat still and enjoyed the sun. We spend like an hour or so photographing it.
I love the way the orange tip looks. It reminds me of a road or world map of some kind. In this picture you can't see the orange tip because the wings are closed.
Here is a close up.
Isn't it amazing how close you can get with a camera. That is why I love macro photography so much. You can photograph things you normally would never see in daily life. This is my favorite butterfly of all the ones I have photographed so far. Simply beautiful!
Keep on creating!

The butterfly and the flower match perfectly!
Indeed they do! Nature is beautiful! :-)
Great macro shot you have here @evergreen365.
Can you share information about the lens used and the camera with the exif information. Thanks
Thank you! My old Canon 40D, Canon 100mm 2.8, ISO 200 1/250, F 9.0
Thanks.
Hallo Johannes, das sind wirklich zwei perfekte Aufnahmen. Der Falter gehört zu den ersten im Frühjahr und ich bin jedesmal hin und weg, wenn ich ihn vor der Linse habe.
Herzlichst, der @faltermann 🦋
Danke @faltermann!
Ja, das ist wirklich ein wunderschöner Schmetterling. Wann sieht man die denn so in Deutschland?
Ich kann je nach Wetterlage Anfang April schon die ersten Falter finden. Meistens achte ich auf die ersten Blüten des Wiesenschaumkraut. Dort sitzen sie dann garantiert. Später natürlich auch auf Knoblauchsrauke. An halbschattigen Standorten lässt sich dort wunderbar nach Eiern und Raupen suchen.
Toll! Ja April ist früh für uns hier in Schweden. Hier kommer die ersten erst im Mai.
Das wundert mich nicht. Im Norden ist alles etwas später daran, als bei uns in Mitteleuropa. Dafür gibt es bei euch Arten, die bei uns aufgrund klimatischer Verschiebungen schon nicht mehr vorkommen.
Wow! Such incredible detail. Fantastic shots! I'd love to get into macro photography soon. It's so fascinating. What setup are you using?
Hi! Thank you! I used my old Canon 7D and the 100mm 2.8 lens.
It's bloody spectacular. Well done my friend!

Thank you! :-)
I agree, macro is wonderful in that way. There is so much beauty that is often overlooked in this great big world. Macro shines a light on that beauty. Which is exactly like you did here. Well done. I've never seen such a patter and color on a butterfly, truly a child of the earth.
Thank you! :-)
