Kicking Around on a Piece of Ground in your Home Town

Low key black and white macro photography of a Small Blue butterfly resting on a hydrangea leaf
Kicking Around on a Piece of Ground in your Home Town — 100mm | f/8 | ISO 400 | EXP 1/320

I remember photographing this Small Blue butterfly like it was yesterday. She made for the most patient of subjects, giving me a solid five minutes to position, hone in and shoot. I intentionally underexposed for a low key effect, and then in post processing with Sliver Efex Pro 2 I bumped up the brightness on the Small Blue to give her the visual weight she deserves.

The show is all about this here butterfly.
