Mousehound Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Golden emperor moth came to visit. Stunning. I now have a license to collect Lepidoptera in Australia. Wish I saw moths like this one. The ones in Oz are mostly shades of brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mousehound Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Only just managed to spot this SAM_2062_crp.jpg Another great Moth pic. Not surprised you nearly missed it - very cryptic. Green moths often ingest cyanide based compounds to act as a deterrent against being eaten and other moths (and butterflies do the same thing) imitate these as a protective measure even though they do not feed on poisonous plants. The bright moths are usually day time flyers of course as drab coloured moths are active at night when bright colour has no benefit in attracting a mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhythmworx Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 @ Goompa, brilliant shot How far away was you from this spider and what size sensor and what mm lens did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goompa Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 @ Goompa, brilliant shot How far away was you from this spider and what size sensor and what mm lens did you use? Thanks , was shot with a 60 mm MZuiko macro , about 20 cm focal distance at f4 1/25 sec iso was at 800 as it was a bit dark, hence the short DOF , I am still learning this camera to be honest OLY EM10 the lens is not very forgiving without a tripod but I am somewhat impatient as well so I tend to lose a lot of images Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post FracturedRabbit Posted December 1, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2014 The Olympus 40-150mm F2.8 has a close focusing distance of 0.7 metres (at any focal length), making it almost a macro and great for photographing things that normally fly away when you get too close with a macro lens, like this: PC010028-3 by pattayadays.com, on Flickr 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goompa Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Fantastic shot FR , I really don't know how you get these shots , Man I am struggling so much to nail it , I have viewed some of the photos you have taken over the time and were kind enough to post on TVF for those to view , I am still mind-boggled as to how you nail these ! and now my screen is blown out as well , I admire your ability and those that have the ability as well ....
