Camera: Panasonic DMC-FZ30
Location: My Patio Area Hamilton New Zealand

Galleries: Nature, Portraiture
Date Uploaded: May 7, 2006

 This was taken at 10.57.35 pm under the overhead light from Our patio area I think I use the flash but cannot be sure as I took several images
This newly hatched Emperor Gum Moth was in our Garden and my daughter was brave enough to hold it for a while I took a few images and it flapped around and freaked her out
We then let it go into the night
I have one of its face (front view) but I think
this is beautiful showing Nature is so wonderful
Taken on 1/30 F4.0
Cropped
- 10 mid tonal range

Slightly sharpened

Slightly sharpened and enhanced +20

I hope you all like it!

Can't tell if it's at night or on a black backdrop so I give it a 6 for a good clear image.
