Unicorn? or Hummingbird Hawk-Moth
I have ALWAYS wanted to see one and this evening was my time and I felt like Id seen a Unicorn!
I was wondering the weeds in my garden set up for ultra macro when this thing came hurtling towards me and I just knew it was a Hummingbird Hawk-Moth. But my heart sank knowing I had completely the wrong kit on. I tried anyway while it was flitting from flower to flower.
After my crappy attempt I ran upstairs and got the other camera with my 200mm lens and then swapped the bare flash onto the D850 so I knew the lighting would be harsh.
After waiting,.... a no show from the Moth I swapped back to Z7ii and took flash off the 200mm. Then I heard the Hum behind me and would you believe it was back so I chucked the raynox off whipped off the diffuser and tried to manually focus in the near dark. Not too bad for the quickest shot I've ever tried.
