A wonderful walk this morning on the Gogs. Glorious sunshine, and pleasantly breezy.
The sky was cloudless and sunlight harsh, so I had brought the infra-red camera which is more adaptable to such conditions…
Looking north.
In memory of Wyn Fox, who loved these hills…
Towards Linton.
It was cool and dappled in the wooded sections.
The woodland walk
The chalk hillsides, uncut untill the autumn, were alive with butterflies - I identified ringlet, marbled white, wood brown, assorted skippers and brimstone among others, plus the odd dragonfly.
The gear I’d brought was of course completely hopeless for conventional insect photography, with a maximum focal length of 36mm on a 35mm sensor and bizarre rendering of subject tonality, but I quite like this image of a couple of marbled whites on knapweed.
