I'd better bone up for a Hairstreak outing in a few weeks as missed focus and 
proper fill flash left and right. I usually have time to practice but did not 
but  and still assumed all would be well--wrong.
The background was bright and too much light lost do to extension--should have 
taken off the ND filter off the flash as the thyrister was fooled and I was too 
slow to adjust. At the end of last season could hit 40-50% 
sharp focus at F8 but w/o recent practice it was terribly low.  I missed a 
couple of what might have been excellent shots.  Above is one of the few. 

I did see my very first Zabulon Skipper ( a newcomer to Mass), which we at 
first thought was a "Pocahontas" dark female form of the Hobomok Skipper.  I 
don't usually study skippers and that was sorted out
by our very experienced leader in the photos later.  It was siting in a nice 
Iris, but not sure I have a good enough shot.


More chasing than images, Mike
