It's impressive that you can get such a nice (and in focus) shot while
shooting behind an ND3 filter. I was also surprised to hear mention of
Horn Pond, my old stomping grounds.

About a week ago went to my first outing at Horn Pond "Mtn" ( perhaps
300 feet) which is a usual hangout for Hairstreaks. We saw less than
half a dozen (fewest in memory, but must just have been the day) and
only a couple chances at any images. I had a friend watching a field in
North Andover for the ememrgence of the Baltimore Checkerspots, and
after a few hours at Horn Pond drove about 40 minutes for a chance at a
nice image of a Baltimore. They can be stunning when newly emerged,
nectaring on a color coordinated blossum. They were in abundance but had
trouble getting one isolated with a nice background and did not
succeed.. I had one more chance on Saturday as there were a few on the
annual 4th of July Count at Appleton farm. I am still working on any
usable images. (Moose has been there) I am convinced that a touch of T32
as fill flash is helpful in some circumstances in bring out out the
colors/iridescence.
Here are a few from Horn Pond--probably just hit slide show for sizing
if so inclined --the sharpening seems to scale ok with the gallery
settings.
