Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted June 12, 201145 views7 comments

Taken in the early morning in the shadow of a tree with a little direct light coming through, sun was too high by then to use as a direct light source as the shadows would have been too harsh. All C&C welcome.

Stats:
Canon EOS50D, Sigma180, f14, 1/25 sec, tripod, liveview, plamp, cable release, full frame, processed in Lightroom, CS5.

Well captured this truely is. I've photographed similar type moths and have never gotten the definition of the eyes anywhere near as clear and sharp. Wonderful work.

I really like the detail and comp of this image. The subject also stands out very nicely from the greens. The lighting is very good.

Heath:
Great capture. I like the angle of the perch and the details in the moth. Very clean bg too.
