Hi,
As I went out of my home, I looked at the lavender and noticed what we call in french a "Moro Sphinx", in english a Hummingbird Hawk-moth.
Its latin name is Macroglossum stellatarum.
I had the Tamron SP 500 f8 mirror lens mounted on the 5D² to take some photographies about birds. I didn't... 
It was very fast, always in movement and never paused.
I had to increase isos to have decent aperture speed.

Just outside, they are 2 now !
But weather is grey and light is too poor for having good results.
First time I see a couple (after all, is it ?)

Shauttra, I was in a sitting position, the 2 elbows resting on the knees, my 3rd eye mirroring her as she was smelling lavender...
Else, I won't say it was macro as I was maybe 3 meters from her.

Loke, thank you.
That's right. It's moving fast and difficult to forecast his next move.
I see that your MF collection grows !
IAZA, thanks for all that love.
Laurence, thanks a lot for your enthousiastic comments.
Being at 3 meters distance and lateral to the lavender bush helped me by having slight adjustments to do with the focusing ring.
The large and clear viewfinder of the 5D² and the AF confirm helped also.

wow fantastic photographs, i especially like nr. 3, 6, and 7 because the lavender looks like it's really large and the moth looks like it's a small helicopter trying to land on them. but most of all, i think you've made great use of the characteristic bokeh. |
