A Red-Banded Hairstreak who hitched a ride on me into the house and my office. He's on my resume (any ideas, dude?) and a tissue box is the background. F11, 1/60, 50mm prime lens, +4 close-up lens, bounce flash.

Details and Macro: October 1, 2012

Martha R. Mazon's Gallery 		  Unique and wonderful, Susan! I love the soft light and background design of the tissue box playing up the sharp detail of the printed page and butterfly.

Susan M. Smith 		  Thanks Marcy! I put that box there once I started shooting. Who knew kleenex could be a background? lol

Susan M. Smith 		  Thank you Donna! He was so tiny too, maybe 1/2 inch. I was lucky to have close-up filters within reach!
