Silver Y Moth captured on Nikon Z6 II

31/10/2025
After a couple hours I captured the image that I set out get
Our new macro area at Poachers Cottage
This afternoon I spent a few hours in my close-up photography area with my Nikon macro set up (Nikon Z6 II
180-600 Nikon zoom lens between the camera body and lens 12 mm and 20 mm extension tubes ) this set up allows a good working distance from subject to the camera I all ways use spot metering on a manual set up on the camera.
Camera settings shutter speed 1/600 f-stop F6.7 wide or open on the lens
Post-processing the image in Photoshop on an Apple Mac light laptop computer: levels, contrast, colour and sharpening for web display.
I waited for the moth to land on the Yellow flower shooting through the green flowers leafs to frame the subject blurring the background the curl of the feeding attendee stands out drawing your eye to the insect. #mothsofinstagram #moths #insects #insect #bugs #silverY
