DEK Photography: Black And White NectarsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #photography8 years ago (edited)

Can you imagine a world with gray skies and black flowers, where shadowy creatures gather inky nectar for their sustenance? Now, also imagine a black Nikon with a 50mm 1.8 G lens, clicking away at this lovely Hummingbird moth, who's become my involuntary photo shoot subject.

Nerd Fact! The Hummingbird moth (Macroglossum stellatarum), also called "Dove's Tail" in Bulgaria, is a butterfly from the Sphingidae family. Its strong flying abilities and flying pattern, along with its long proboscis (its trunk!), make it look like a hummingbird. Its wingspan of around 5 cm (2 inches) and hairy, brown to orange body color, make every self respecting lady jump in the arms of the closest gentleman.

That's really nice @dek.

Thank you!

You know, I appreciate comments much more than upvotes. It takes a second to click a button, whereas a comment shows that my photo managed to provoke a feeling in the viewer :)

Yes and it breaks the %$^&*() Facebook mentality issue.

That said, I believe if someone brings an effort to enlighten, share or make people happy... it deserves not only an upvote, but a thank you. And I noticed many people do not upvote comments... it may be non lucrative, but it sure is karma related.

Well, upvotes here are limited to a certain number a day - I suppose that's what keeping people away from well deserved recognition :)
