POD #22

Taken with my Nikon D90 1/250 @ f/11. Available light. 105mm Macro

I like challenging myself from time to time and trying to take a picture of a live fly without a flash is the perfect challenge for me. I took a few pictures of this fly and this was the sharpest I came out with. This was a challenge because of the constant movement of the fly. Every time I got close to it, the fly moved or flew to another location. I am going to make another attempt at this shot with a flash. 

POD #1

Macro Image of a Moth @ f/ 10, 1/100th of a second, Nikon SB 24 Manual @ 1/4th power. Ambient light is a generic incandescent light bulb

I am not an insect photographer in the least, however, I have always wanted to see a moth up close. The perspective shows the top of the moth, which almost looks like a face. This was an added entertaining element.
