Six Spot Burnet in Flight

Taken in a contolled environment with high speed flash using a canon 5d mk2 100mm macro, infrared trigger, set just above the knapweed flower head, with the Six Spot Burnet on, then opened the only light source in my studio and the waited for the burnet to take off through the beamheading for the light.

I admire your technique Dale and this is certainly well caught. Composition is good and I really like the vague hint of greenery in the background but the position of the rear wing and the high contrast of the light spoil it a little (though in truth that is being somewhat picky). I suspect that it may well grow on me though as some of these shots often do.

Great technique.I agree the positioning of the critter could be better but that really is nit picking.
Well done

I love it beautifull colour and love the technique

Nice use HSF Dale, not too sure abut the light though as said it is a little harsh and I think perhaps needs a little work... shame the moth is facing away but given that this is a studio shot, that can be sorted... enjoy these images and look forward to seeing more...

Interesting, excellent, amazing and different, however it doesn't quite work for me mainly because of the nits already mentioned, I don't know a lot about HSF, is it possible to soften the light and still capture the action? Because if you can this has the ptential to be superb, you obviously have the technique sorted and I look forward to seeing more images like this as it is most certainly different, well done

Excellent capture, from a technical point of view.

Nice capture and one in flight too....Lovely and sharp too.

Great technique and excellent capture. However I agree about the light being a bit harsh.
