Morning Glory Moth - ghosting, Heesch, Netherlands I hope this freaks you out, because I&#039;m certainly trying. I found this plume moth on the glass of our garden door and did not plan for this quadruple reflection. It can be explained though: main flash + 2 x ring flash units + daylight = 4 light sources. I darkened the scene to dramatize the effect a bit, and to hide how nasty the glass is when magnified.<br /> <br /> Closeup:<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/67462/morning_glory_moth_-_ghosting_closeup_heesch_netherlands.html" title="Morning Glory Moth - ghosting closeup, Heesch, Netherlands"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/2/67462_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=4AgmiJWKwwMEOKTUBfQXPLb1wos%3D" width="200" height="126" alt="Morning Glory Moth - ghosting closeup, Heesch, Netherlands Found on our garden door, check out the ghostly reflection:<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/67461/morning_glory_moth_-_ghosting_heesch_netherlands.html<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/67463/morning_glory_moth_-_sacrifice_heesch_netherlands.html<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/67464/morning_glory_moth_-_sacrifice_closeup_heesch_netherlands.html Emmelina monodactyla,Europe,Heesch,Morning glory plume moth,Netherlands,World" /></a></figure><br /> <br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/67463/morning_glory_moth_-_sacrifice_heesch_netherlands.html" title="Morning Glory Moth - sacrifice, Heesch, Netherlands"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/2/67463_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=UctRpvgQkiWwvJpYHaA8NzyUnlg%3D" width="200" height="164" alt="Morning Glory Moth - sacrifice, Heesch, Netherlands Found on the glas door towards our garden.

Morning Glory Moth - ghosting, Heesch, Netherlands

I hope this freaks you out, because I'm certainly trying. I found this plume moth on the glass of our garden door and did not plan for this quadruple reflection. It can be explained though: main flash + 2 x ring flash units + daylight = 4 light sources. I darkened the scene to dramatize the effect a bit, and to hide how nasty the glass is when magnified.

    I think your adjustments worked perfectly. The contrast makes these photos very dramatic and crisp! <3     Posted 6 years ago

      Thanks, Lisa! It was sorely needed. It's crazy how dirty glass windows are at macro level. Posted 6 years ago
