Tired of lookin for bugs so I thought I'd turn around. The moon in southern California at 1600 hrs (4:00pm). Sigma 150-500 telephoto with APO 1.4 teleconverter.
Met a gentleman from Clovis CA. who takes macro photos in this direction. Check the photos out at Sierra-Remote.com
Do you think I could get closer with an extension tube? :-)
