White-lined Sphinx Moth: Randall Davey Audubon Center, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, July 2024 \u2014 As I mentioned a week or so ago, the plants at Randall Davey were attracting a lot of Sphinx Moths, certainly the most I have ever seen in one place at one time. I had a lot of fun trying to catch them in the frame of my camera. I found that I had to use the mechanical shutter on the Sony a6700, as the moths\u2019 wings were just the right speed to distort with the silent electronic shutter. \ud83d\ude41 Not a problem really\u2026just a matter of switching shutters. As above, Sony a6700 with Tamron 50-400 Di iii VC VXD zoom at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my flight and action modifications. Insect subject recognition and focus. Processed in Photomator. <\/p>\n
