Re: PESO: Monarch Chrysalises

Thanks for looking and commenting, Ann.

I like your description that they look like tiny Christmas ornaments.  I
never thought of that, but it sure works!

PESO: Monarch Chrysalises

[Daniel J. Matyola]

All of my current crop of Monarch larvae have entered their chrysalises,
and are developing for the next stage of complete metamorphosis, when they
will emerge as adult butterflies.  Six of the chrysalises are hanging from
the top of the net breeding cage, making them difficult to photograph.  One
fell down, and has been carefully placed on a paper towel to develop
further.  The other seven attached themselves to the clay pot I used to
hold the milkweed and the tray under the pot:

PESO: Monarch Condo

[Daniel J. Matyola]

My most recent endeavor in raising Monarch butterflies was a group of
larvae from Monarch Watch.  Since the previous brood had devoured the
smaller potted Milkweed plants, I used my largest net cage for the new
fellows, who were very tiny upon arrival.

In addition to some smaller potted plants and some cut foliage from plants
growing in our yard, I placed a fairly large potted milkweed in the cage,
and left it there the entire time.  There didn't seem to be as many
chrysalises  as I had expected clinging to the top of the cage when all the
larvae had metamorphosed.   When I removed the large pot from the cage, I
discovered the reason:  a number had decided to hang their chrysalises on
the side of the pot, rather than climbing to the top of the cage.
Actually, there was one more than shown in the below image;  I accidentally
knocked one off as I was removing the pot.  I placed that one on some paper
towels, and it will probably still develop into an adult butterfly.

I was somewhat amused by the manner in which they all crowded together on
the pot, instead of spreading out as they usually do on the top of the
cage.  That reminded me of a little condo development, with all the units
close together.

Great stuff, Dan. I'm going to follow your lead by finding some milkweed 
plants this year.

The Tropical Milkweed plants have more developed flowers, and are
attracting Monarchs to nectar, as well as to lay eggs.  Two of the larger
plants have caterpillars feeding on them, from eggs laid there either by
butterflies I released over the past few weeks or by those just passing
by.  In either event, seeing them is quite rewarding. For whatever reason,
female Monarchs seem to consistently choose Tropical Milkweed, if
available, over native milkweeds for depositing their eggs.

The first image shows a Monarch, possibly a female looking for a place to
leave her young, taking nectar from a potted Tropical Milkweed.  The second
image shows a wider scene, including part of our deck.

Peso- Monarch Pass Fall

[Jack Davis]

Attaching a fall scene found just west of the crest of Colorado's 10,000ft 
Monarch Pass summit.
Appears the constant wind up the pass has influenced the tree growth and was,
probably, what eventually caused this cabin to settle back against the up slope.
The sky was especially dark due to elevation.

Cutting it off now for awhile.

Comments?

Thanks!

Jack

Re: Peso- Monarch Pass Fall

l like the composition and the setting.  The time of day causes just a little 
too harsh shadows on the building.  I think I would do a light amount of HDR to 
tone down the contrast a little and maybe bring out the shadows a little more.  
It might be a very powerful image.

Re: Peso- Monarch Pass Fall

[Jack Davis]

Yeah, I toned down the glare of the aspen which I'm sure greatly influenced the 
meter. The light was intense at that altitude.
When posting, I gave it a touch of fill light and saw some relief. I get what 
you're saying, Bruce.

Thanks for the kind remarks, Bruce.

PESO -- Monarch I

[P.J. Alling]

This was in the running to be my Synchronicity entry, but while it and 
Monarch II which I'm also going to post in a few minutes, were 
technically better, the image I've actually chosen, seems to fit the 
theme better, well at least it does to me.  This is a pretty deep crop 
from the K-5II file, I had a number of Monarch butterfly images where I 
managed to get close enough to qualify as Macro shots, just barely, but 
none in which the butterfly showed it's colors to any extent.


https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20---%20monarchi.html

Notes:  Crop to about 6mp before downsizing for the web.

Out of the three in the Monarch series, I personally like this one
(III) better especially for its background.  In the other two there
are some thorns which bother me.

However in number I, the backlighting pops the orange in the
butterfly and it would have been lovely to have it on number III as
well.

What if you crop number III to a square format, dropping the bottom?

Ciprian.


P.S.:  A minor nitpick about the HTML of your PESO:  on my laptop
display (900px in height), even with the browser in full screen mode,
none of the pictures fit into the screen.  A simple solution to that
is to simply add a style=max-height:80vh; to the `img` element in
your HTML, and now the image will be at most 80% the height of the
browser window (actually the viewport, which is the inside of the
panel where the HTML is displayed.)

Re: SV: PESO - Monarch Cluster

[knarf]

They are amazing. And when they are feeding during their migration they will 
let one get quite close. I guess they are so intent on refueling they need to 
eat at all costs. 

In my three and a half years here in New Toronto I've only experienced the full 
migration once; I've missed it other years. They don't move at the same time 
every year. Depends on the weather during the summer or something.

Anyway, three years ago was an awe-inspiring experience. 

Thanks for the kind words and thanks to all who looked and commented.

Cheers,
frank

Was looking through some old stuff and came across the photos I took of the 
monarch migration some three years ago. I never did process this one:

Other than the dull sky I rather like it. Hope you do too. Comments welcome.

That's cool Frank!

I came upon a bunch of monarchs along the Big Sur a couple of days ago. 
Amazing butterflies.

Impressive, but you could do a lot with that pic with Lightroom or similar.

RE: PESO - Monarch

[Bill Owens]

Thanks, Paul

The only real complaint I have with the Tamron 28-300 is the f6.3 on the
long end.  So far it's been a good all around lens for shooting from the
wheelchair.

Nice one. Background looks okay to me in regard to sharpeness. No  
edge brightness or highlight blooming. However, it would be even  
better if the background was more out of focus.

I did sharpen it 150% in PSE 5.0.  It's also cropped a fair amount to remove
