For this one, the original is slightly higher resolution. I wonder if there is any limit to how tall these originals can be?

Thanks!

I love the contrast of the rough wood and the delacate rose... beautiful!

Focus Issues

Unfortuately, my camera doesn't have a manual focus, so I was already relying on the auto-focus. I had to press the shutter button halfway, then chase the moths around until it looked like one was in focus on the LCD screen. Crude but effective, given what I have to work with. LOL. I took about 40 shots, and three were in focus.

Moths a challenge, for sure

It's no overstatement to say these critters are difficult to capture on film. I was out at sunset on Saturday making a feeble attempt myself. I shot dozens of frames and still never came out with one I was satisfied with. One of them did bring out a remarkable, metallic gold-orange coloration on the moth's wings, though.

More than keeping up with these speedy critters, I found the biggest challenge was focusing the lens. The only way I could do it was by depending on the auto-focus assist lamp (which still lights even in manual focus) to give me momentary illumination prior to firing the shutter. I guess the ideal technique would be to have some similarly dim but continuous light source that wouldn't disturb the moth or interfer with the stop-action effect of the flash.

Realy nice shot!

Thanks!

I was fortunate to have been able to take this photo when I did as the beds of annuals are now getting a bit past their prime. Usually they are at their very best here between the very end of July and the beginning of August.

Glorious colors

There are such rich colors - wonderful 'Fall-Like' colors - I think I could stare at this photo all day.
