Super macro.

I'm pleased you joined my challenge "The November 2020 Collection". Great, thanks, and let's hope it turns all right well for you. The competition is, as ever, very hard! That is this month especially the case, because VB approved the challenge for the gallery and extended the duration. Good luck.

Behind The Lens

Location

Taken in my home. Found the Caterpillar on our lemon tree.

Time

Taken on January 19, 2020 at 7:20 PM.

Lighting

Used flash to create separation between the Caterpillar and the background.

Equipment

Shot on a Sony DSC-P200 camera with an 38-114mm F2.8-F5.2 lens.

Inspiration

The camouflage of it being green same as the lemon tree leaves.

Editing

Improved color saturation and exposure.

In my camera bag

Sony DSC-P200 camera.

Feedback

Focus needs to be precise because of the small subject. Also the lens must be close enough to the subject without blocking light or scaring the bug.
