Default Moth Flight
Moth flight

I was out last night looking for something to photograph.
I saw this moths flying under the lamp post and they seem to glow while flying under the lamp.

Cool! Very well done. The exposure didn't overexpose the lamp.

well, this fantastic photo shows that even the mundane has its interesting side..never thought of moth on such perspective..(Dr.Rizal's gamu-gamo story just popped in my brain..and instead of a lamp they now flocked into streetlights..)
