Thanks for the comments, Moose! I would have loved, *loved*, to have
the entire
Moth in perfect focus.
It was angled around 30 degrees away from me, obliquely (not purely
horisontal or vertical). I had to do the best I could with a moving (!!)
subject to set up the camera movements accordingly, as it swished into
and out of
focus every couple of seconds.
Considering this is taken with the equivalent of a 40mm f/1.4 Macro
lens wide open,
when even at f/16 you couldn't get this moth nearly as in-focus with a
(non-tilt-shift)
Macro lens for the 35mm system, I am very proud of this shot, and
don't beat myself up
over the small imperfection... :-)
You are indeed a unique "viewer", Moose, but nobody here would expect
it any other way!
