Macro work - the hard way!


Yesterday, I showed my cowbird photo - for which I got some nice comments, off list.

Whilst I was waiting for one of the cowbirds to move to a branch where I could get a clean shot, I noticed this little critter land on a pussy-willow. The light was right and he (she?) was just at the minimum focusing range of the 400 Telyt & 2x converter.

So close, in fact, that I racked the lens to it's closest focus and then rocked the camera, in proper fashion, to focus on the beast.

My problem is I'm so illiterate when it comes to bugs, I don't know if it's a moth or a butterfly, let alone what kind!

All help, comments and, yes, criticism appreciated.

Thanks for looking.
