Camera Critter #73

When I am out making images, I shoot anything and everything...then worry about it when I get back home. I don't even look at the shots until I get them up on my computer. But that's where the fun begins.

Every image I make is done in RAW format, and when the light is right, in manual mode using the Sunny 16 Rule. I have found a nice workflow which makes turning the RAW image into a uploadable photo, quick and easy.

But before I upload, I want the person looking at the photo to know what they are looking at. So, I'll spend hours checking my reference books and looking through various online sites for an identification. I haven't shot many critters which I can't ID, but there is one group which constantly gives me fits. That group is moths.

Below are seven moths from my area of the high desert which I can not identify.







Maybe someday I'll locate a good reference and be able to put a name to these critters.
