[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 835588, member: 50197"] Walked out in the backyard after the rain stopped today. Nice soft light. Thought I'd try my hand at some available light macro shots. Lots of throw aways due to motion blur. I was shooting handheld, and trying to keep the ISOs down. Shot around 180th of a sec for most. of them. Even at F/11, the depth of field seemed rather shallow on the closer focus images. The faster moving insects were mostly a no go. This was probably the best of the batch. I love the colors, even though I'm not a big fan of most caterpillar images. I took several with the stem mostly horizontal, then thought I try this one with it diagonal.
