Moth, Face, almost straight on.

Tonight turned out to be a good night for insect macro imaging. This image is viewed from the front of the moth, almost straight on. This is a 2.8:1, at the sensor, macro view. This moth was attracted to the outside (flood) lighting on the backyard deck in rural upstate Columbia County, New York, USA. For this image, I used my manual focus Tamron Adaptall-2 Model 52BB SP 90mm f2.5 Macro Lens and Tamron Adaptall-2 18f 1:1 Tube and Tamron Adaptall-2 140f 1.4X Flat Field Teleconverter and Tamron Adaptall-2 01f 2X Flat Field Teleconverter with attached Tamron Adaptall-2 Pentax K A Mount, all mounted to Pentax K20D Camera, Manually Focused, Hand Held, Manual Mode, Shake Reduction 300mm, ISO 400, f6.7, 1/20 sec., with fill-in flash from camera's built-in electronic flash. This is a Full Resolution Large JPEG and is Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) and is without any post processing, editing, adjustment, cropping, or re-sizing.
