This spotted little yellow monster was photographed in Daintree National Park in the tropics of northeast Australia. It will eventually develop into a four o’clock moth. I took the shot well before I had a macro lens but rather, travelled with a close up filter that I screwed onto the front of my 80-200 lens. An inexpensive and easy-to-carry solution for grabbing the occasional close up. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 80-200mm lens (at 200mm with Canon 500D close up filter) ISO 100, f/16 at 1/60th of a second, Nikon D-600 flash
Well, according to my exif data on the file, it was approximately 4:25. AM. So obviously I failed to adjust for Australia time, but close enough to 4 o’clock.
