moth- detail

I used a double set of extension tubes to get this super closeup, backlighting care of the window
Amazing to see such detail in the moth's wings!

I always like how closeups of moth/butterfly wings look like closeups of monitors! :D

Wow Kali -I have no idea of what you mean by a double set of extension tubes - but boy do they work well! This is fantastic. Thank you for entering it in the backlit challenge.

Lovely textures and back lighting. Im going to have to look up extension tubes too - I have a ridiculous image in my head that needs to be dispelled.

@robz @helenhall extension tubes fit between the camera body and the lens to increase magnification, they just basically hold the lens further from the focal plane , i have really cheap ones but have to go manual because they dont communicate with the camera., much cheaper than a macro lens!

I can almost feel the feather like texture of the wings. Extension tubes really surprise me and I like them a great deal.

@kali66 Thanks very much for bothering to explain - that makes lots of sense now. Cheers.
