Ok - a slight bounce back to the bugs today. I have another day of flower photos to do, but it is a much more in-depth post with discussion of apertures and depth of field, so I want to take my time with it and hopefully make it clear to understand and useful for folks.

So instead, you get a sneak peak at a hummingbird moth photo.

Technical Data: Canon EOS 7D, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM, 1/250 sec at f/16. Canon Speedlight 580EX II flash in auto mode and wireless control. Image Stabilization on. ISO 160. RAW processing in Adobe Camera Raw.

Did you do the double take? Did you think that was a hummingbird? Look again... notice the antennae and the extra legs?

I'll tell you more about hummingbird moths in a few days. Stay tuned.
