Inchworm Moth

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted August 3, 2010147 views7 comments

The Inchworm moth (Dyspania militaris) likes to perch on the underside of leaves making taking pictures challenging. For this image, I had to lie low to view the screen. The moth was in thick vegetation and consequently had to use flash.

D90 300mmF4 F8 1/100 on camera flash 1/4. The use of flash is pretty obvious. I would be interested to hear comments on how to improve the flash effect eg diffuser, off camera etc. Thanks for looking and C&C appreciated.

killer colors - just wish for a touch more DOF and unfortunately the flash is obvious as you noted.

I like this Gary, The composition looks good and the flash doesn't bother me at all. It does look a little on the cool side (bluish) but not too bad.

Nicely done.
