Big Head!
Buff Tip Moth.
Taken off an Ecktachrome slide done many years ago. Done with a Pentax
-standard lens with a no 4 close up lens. Diffused flash. Copied with my home made adapted drainpipe setup.
Makes a change I suppose.

PS Thanks for your comments on my previous.

Not my cuppa this one John but the drainpipe sounds interesting :wink:

Thanks Bob.
Tits (and drainpipes)go down much better than Moths it seems :biggrin: :wink:

it's lasted well John and it's an interesting looking moth but the light is quite harsh. It adds a dramatic feel perhaps, but I'd like to see a bit more detail around the moth I think.

I wouldn't fancy doing high magnification stuff with film! It must have been expensive!

Hmm - have to agree with Bob. I've looked a few times but can't get to grips with the anatomy on this one John.

That's a picture I like very much. That's my kind of pictures.
Wel done John.
