F5 Emeralds
The images in this post are all at F5. Not something I went out particularly to do, but as it happens the keepers from the day were all at that aperture. These were taken on a brief walk at Ramsdown Nature reserve in the afternoon before Englands final world cup match.
The first “Emerald” – is a slight play on the title, but at I think the butterfly, does have an emerald green colour.

Green Hair-streak. Taken on Canon 650D with Canon 100mm F2.8 USM Macro Lens. ISO 400 F5 1/400 in Natural Light.
The last pictures are all Emerald Damselflies, the first a male, and the last two a female.
