Found this Pale Brindled Beauty moth on the doorstep last night; while it basked on the front door for a bit, I grabbed my new extension tubes! It then decided it'd sit on the doormat for a while before it totteredoff elsewhere.

Both taken handheld with a 20mm tube on a 50mm f/1.8 @ f/11-f/18, normal (i.e. not ringlight) flash

C+C (especially on technique) invited.
 
geez, ive never seen a moth up close before. Nice shots scoop.
 
Thank you! :)

I have to say, I was a little surprised how, well, fluffy and (dare I say?) cute he looked up close. He reminded me a little of a cuddly toy I saw a little while back that my daughter was quite taken with!
 
Some moths look quite cuddly close up don't they :LOL: nice shots ;)
