Recovered Fritillary - _TNY_0812 - a photo on Flickriver

            A friend of mine (Hi, Chris!) has been talking about the advantages of overexposing macro shots and then recovering them in postproduction (when using RAWs of course).

I'm beginning to see his point really. This one was quite a bit burnt out, but as you can see, the end result came out very nice. This way there are details to be found in even the darker parts of a shot so I can definitely see the benefit.

The butterfly in this shot is Sweden's largest fritillary - the silver-washed fritillary (Argynnis paphia) and this particular one was hanging out on a thistle on the soccer-golf course (yes, that's a thing) at the Siggesta Gård conference center.
