Five Spot Burnet
One from a few weeks ago when I spent an enjoyable day trying to get a decent shot :cool:


Nikon D300
Nikon 105 2.8 Macro
1/60 sec at f11 ISO 200
Defused SB400 on hotshoe
Hand Held

Hi Ian, I think the flash work is a little harsh on this one which has reflected in the iridescence of the moths scales and in it's eye. Maybe some simple reflected light would have produced a more subtle fill-in for you?

Kind regards,

Brett :toast:

Like this very much, super moth and the background is great too.

Great composition and background. Agree that the flash was a little too powerful.
