Two from the garden

Garden spider and rain drops

Angle shades moth
Nature Blog Network
Camera note: Both shots taken with the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG macro lens. For the spider I used the Canon 430EX flash, switched to a low manual setting with the diffuser lowered. For the angle shades moth I used the Sigma EM-140 DG ring flash, again switched to a low power setting.

    Nice moth there. šŸ™‚ I think Iā€™m still kind of scared of the spider though.

    Darko, surprisingly they don't seem to be too bothered by the flash.

    Thanks Adele. The moth was quietly sheltering from the rain for most of the evening, pretending to be a leaf.

    Thanks Neil. I don't think she's supping those drops, but they looked pretty on her.
