It got up to 70* today. This moth was on the side of the house. There was a jumper on my motorcycle, but he would come out to play.
D7000, sb-28, 105mm with 36mm of tubes.
This image looks a bit flat in contrast. I speculate that your original file is a bit under-exposed.

Pixelation in the background is distracting as well. Any idea what caused this?
Every shot I've taken on this side of the garage comes out looking flat. This time I tried a slower shutter speed to get a bit more detail on the underside of the moth. Maybe I'm getting some reflection on the lens?
I don't know what the Exposure Bias means. I have everything on manual and check the histogram after the test shot.
I used three programs working with this image. I think I must have changed to RGB and back which caused the banding. I was just excited to get a bug picture.

One of the MENU options in your camera is Exposure Bias. This allows the photographer to bias the exposure to over-exposure of the metering, or under-exposure. Often used to off-set a bright background (overcast sky) or bright foreground (snow), etc.
that jumper wanted you to start the bike... The moth is a great subject though.
