This lovely emerald moth was languishing on the side of the warehouse when I came into work this morning. Unfortunately with the early-morning sun on its highly-reflective wings, it made a poor subject for my dodgy little compact camera. The photo was almost pure white, but I reduced the brightness as far as it would go in Microsoft Photos, whacked the colour up as high as it would go, messed around with the contrast a bit and added a vignette, which darkens the edges of the shot, leaving the subject in a kind of spotlight. It still looks a bit grey, but it’s a nice shot now!
