Looking up

[dadas115]

Yesterday we had thunderstorms so I decided to visit the butterfly exhibit at the local museum to do some macro photography. I spent most of the day shooting color with a flash but later in the afternoon it got dark enough that I decided to try something new. I bumped the ISO up to 1600 on my Rebel XT and switched to B&W mode. At the same time I put my flash away and went to work. This shot was taken with the EF-s 60mm f/2.8 macro USM at f/2.8 and 1/30 sec.

I know the DOF is very narrow but I sort of liked the way the legs and antennae were out of focus and just the general feel of the picture. This is the full frame just scaled down for web viewing.

Thanks,

Greg
