Angle Shades moth caterpillar with the Venus

Paul Iddon · February 21, 2015

Here's an angle shades moth caterpillar taken with the Venus lens. It's going to take awhile sorting focus and light out. First four with the ring flash attached to the lens. The last one is with the softbox held off camera.

Wow Paul! Venus lens paying off! Is it auto focus?

Wonderful series Paul - esp like #3

How are you doing the aperture ?- setting it before focusing ?

Thanks SB. No - it is manual everything!

If there is is enough light, you can just make out detail at around f/8 but I find I have to open it up to f/4 or f/2.8 first, focus, and turn the aperture ring to around f/11.

Looking good. An unusually-sharp reflection in the fourth one but otherwise better than expected for ring flash.

Great shots! Where do you find all these interesting insects? Is it just in the garden or somewhere else?

The vast majority of my photos, are all in my small garden. 15 feet square including paths, so about half of it has greenery where the bugs and insects reside.
