THE BANDED TIGER MOTH! - MACRO VERSION

in macrophotography •  7 years ago 

This camera sure is a blessing!


I love being able to observe and interact with the creatures of the world anyway, but this new camera and macro lens allow me to do so on a whole 'nother level. Yesterday, the oldest son of @bluerthangreen and @allforthegood caught a Banded Tiger Moth, and since he knows that I love wild animals, he brought it over as a gift. I tried to get some good photos, but knew that at any moment it could fly away. Sure enough, after just a few, it was gone! Here are the shots that I captured though. Enjoy!

QUICK - HE'S ABOUT TO FLY AWAY!!!

As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Look at the detail on the antenna and body! I didn't even notice there was so much red on the body. Love it! Glad you were able to get some good photos :)

Glad your boy passed it on to me! Now we can all get a good look at it!

Beautiful. The colors look stunning.

Yeah, we were really impressed when we first saw these last year.

It's a weird butterfly @papa-pepper
Because I also get this butterfly.

Thanks!

Taking advantage of the moment to take the best photographs. I love it

Yup! That's how we do it around here these days!

Wow! That is a super impressive little guy. I love my macro lens! When I first got it, I was down in the grass and all over the place looking at this macro world. It really is the coolest experience. Now I'm into my telephoto camera ;) So much fun! LOL Thanks for posting these - hope to see more.

Cool! I love playing with the lenses that I've got, and can't wait to continue to develop my skills!

This is beautiful. I wish to have a camera of such resolution and specifications. Showing this to my friend will make her say "OSHAPRAPRA" meaning it's very clear and scintillating
well-done sir!

Cool! Thank you very much!

Wow camera on fleek 😁😁😁😁 Amazing @papa-pepper

Beautiful pics. Love the ones of the moth's face. I also love to interact with the creatures. Just got back from a walk to the neighboring field to interact with a herd of antelope. They're so beautiful! I just love their energy.

Unfortunately, my iPhone camera doesn't get a good picture from that distance. Which model camera did you get?

Wow! A herd of antelope? That would be so cool!

It's good you capture it early with your camera. It looks beautiful. Keep the good work @Papa-pepper

Thank you @sandrazeal11!

Awesome photography, @papa-pepper and what an awesome gift your little friend brought you! The photos are crisp and clear. It is a beautiful moth.

Yeah, plenty of folks around here are always gifting me animals to check out, or calling me when they need help with something more dangerous!

incredible @papa-pepper, has shared a very nice butterfly but never been on our planet.

genial buena foto

Gracias!

So cool! It could be the size of a jumbo jet until you hold it in your hand. I love the one with just the antenna. Amazing!

Seriously beautiful. Even down to the tiny little hairs on the antennae! One doesn't often think of moths as a photography subject. I wonder if any around me have that colouring...I've only seen really brown ones.

It does make for some good photos, especially with the right camera and lens!

Wow! Very realistic photography.

she is perfectly beautiful.

I agree! Thanks!

Very cool looking moth... interesting pattern and colors! It reminds me of a delta winged fighter jet.

This is nice Papa. That camera did capture it well. You did so great with that lens. I have NEVER seen it this upclose. This is nice Sir.

Wow. What a beautiful creature. :) Moths are one of my favorites.. And.. You got some great shots with that camera setup! Nice work man! :D

Wow!!! those photos are amazing! what camera and lens are you using?
Bugs are so good models for macro photography!
I wish I had a good macro lens but for now im doing reverse lens with my 50mm...
Upvoted and following you!
No need to do the same but if you wanna check out I've being posting some of my best photos... maybe not as good as yours :)
Good Luck!

Wow great images, that second from last one is amazing. ✌

Cool man!
