Rare Hawaiian Moth

Actually, the only thing that makes this plain old moth rare is the fact that it’s the only one I’ve seen in my kitchen here in Hawaii so far.  A quick little karate chop was all it took to persuade this little guy to help me make a celebrity out of him.  I agree this is a lame macro subject so the next one will be better.

Close-Up on Hawaii

During the coming month of February, I will be in Kapolei, HI for the second year in a row.  This year I plan on taking advantage of Hawaii’s amazing beauty to learn more about macro photography.  Macro photography is just another way of saying “really zoomed in”.  The goal is to zoom in on a subject in order to capture detail that the naked eye doesn’t have the benefit of seeing.  Beyond that, the goal is the same as any photograph you take… you want people to say – “wow!”.

I’ll add new posts here as I come across interesting subjects to “zoom in on”.
