p.1 #1 · Large White - natural light and close-up | |
It's nice to take different sorts of images of a subject sometimes. I recently had the chance to photograph a nice, freshly emerged Large White butterfly and first took some natural light shots with my Sigma 150mm and then went in close with my MP-E 65 using flash.
Here's one of the natural light, Sigma 150 shots.

and here's one of the close-ups. This was taken around 3x or 4x.

It's interesting to see peoples' responses to these 2 types of shots. There are some forums where natural light shots are far more appreciated than close-ups as they're seen to be more pictorial and elegantly composed (and probably more commercially marketable). However, other forums and sites like Flickr seem to prefer the 'wow' factor of the close-ups.
All comments appreciated.
