From a distance a grasshopper really doesn’t look like much but when viewed up close the intricate detail and color scheme makes it into an object of beauty. I also liked the touch of color added by the thistle blossom in the foreground of this shot.
In an attempt to increase my capability for shooting macros, I added a Kenko 25mm extension tube to my gadget bag. It has performed flawlessly on the 100-400mm but with the 24-105mm I find that I have difficulty in achieving focus in the auto-focus mode.
Very cool image of this little guy.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Cool close up!

I'm not sure I know what an extension tube is...I think I've heard of it....but it certainly did the trick with your grasshopper photo. Really cool!
ReplyDeleteMacros are interesting. You see the world in a new perspective. And yes it is hard to achieve good focus with macros. Keep up the great job.
ReplyDeleteGreat detail in this little guy! Fabulous shot Salty!
ReplyDeleteSalty: Cool capture of the great looking grasshopper. Your lens worked great on this shot.
ReplyDeletegreat photo. I can never seem to get close enough to theses types of bugs before the fly away.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of the enemy;)
