In addition to getting some nice shots of an American Bird Grasshopper, White Ibis, Butterfly and Dragonfly, I was able to capture some crisp macro shots of a Short-Winged Green Grasshopper. All shots were taken using a Canon 80D camera with a 75 - 300 mm lens.
The first set of shots are straight on shots. The first shot is the closest I could get to the grasshopper before it hopped away.
The second set of shots are side angle shots, to give a better idea of the color diversity of the grasshopper. I also played around with the aperture on the second and third shot of the set to add another dimension to the shots.
The funny thing is I almost missed getting shots of the grasshopper, for it blended in so well to its surroundings. Nonetheless, I got lucky and captured some wicked photos!
Hope you enjoyed.
One love,
