Green spiny caterpillar

Wayne Kliewer

Not shot in the studio but in the Ecuadorian rainforest, this shot combines a plethora of technical know-how. Off-camera flash lights the caterpillar and the macro lens fills the frame with precise detail. The folds on the body look soft, and are displayed as such, with the wrapping light coming from an SB-900 Speedlight. Nikon D810, 105mm f/2.8, 1/200 sec, f/22, ISO200
