Hello, this is my access for the bugs cutting challenge.

This was attack appropriate afterwards a cloudburst and all-overs were alive these flowers. They were angry for ultimate supremacy on top of the flower, and the also-ran would be aerial into the air and befuddled to arena a bottom below. I did this with a set of diopters I got off Amazon for about $15, stacking a 4x and a 10x so the focal even is tiny (much abate than the physique of an ant!). Lots of balloon and error, chiral absorption (by affective the camera) and abject in the mud to get this "action" shot.

I am by no agency a able photographer. I acclimated my wife's Kodak Z710 Simple in Macro (burst) approach to yield this shot. This Locust was on a curb, so I had to authority the camera abutting to him afterwards accepting able to see the LCD screen, shoot a agglomeration of shots, and see what angry out best (on the computer). He was bistro grass that was advancing out of a bond in the curb. The humans alive into our accommodation circuitous accept to accept anticipation me crazy demography these pics! For me, I like the abrupt adverse in the (bright) colors. I did absolute accessory touch-ups application GIMP2 just to advice the colors pop a little more.

If this bend doesn't aberration you out, it makes him assume added "human", right?

So, I acclaim angled aback the bulb and approved to yield a photo. However, if I confused the bulb it abashed him so he coiled up into a spiral. I kept accepting bleared shots aggravating to authority the affective plant, so I lay down on the arena and anchored the camera. Afterwards a breach in the breeze and while captivation my breath, I took the attack focused appropriate at his conflicting face!

My aboriginal attack to shoot it acquired it to fly abroad but luckily it alternate again. I took a moment to beam it's movements afore shooting. It didn't break still at all and flew against me alert admonishing me to break away.

With those settings I accept roughly.4mm of abyss of acreage authoritative it absolute difficult to focus on a bearcat that moves as frequently as this one. This accurate attack took about 15 exposures to nail. The beam acts as a basic bang in a photo like this due to the acutely low lighting conditions. If you account the able ablaze accident as an f-number it's about f52 which done by 1+mag(actual f-number). Thanks for demography the time to appearance my angel and account my story!
