Quite the large moth (6+inches across). I also need to remember to up the DOF to get the whole thing in focus. This was at f/3.2, 1/500 sec. with 580EX flash with diffuser. Enjoy. Comments always welcome.

    another reminder that I need to get a hotshoe flash (an cable) when my funds are replenished from buying the Sigma 105. Great shot... I usually don't think of moths as beautiful, but some of them are. This one included. great capture David.
