A Little Guest

[ttusa]

I ventured to Mercer Arboretum to do a bit of flower photography. After the rained stopped I found this colorful lily with a stowaway. Thanks for looking!

Sony Alph 100, Minolta 200mm Macro Lens, Gitzo 1325 Tripod, (still find myself ready to list the film type...)

OMGosh. Terese, that's just beautiful. Never thought I'd say that about an ordinary old grasshopper. You are a master at composition!

If you need someone to carry your camera bag on one of your ventures...I'll sign up. Maybe some of your talent will rub off on me.

perfect! Love the subject and colors.

[Jim Victory]

Outstanding!

Great detail and control of the DOF.

[engstrom]

Wonderful composition, lighting and exposure. But most of all this picture has that other-worldly feeling to it. That feeling that sets it above and apart from most pictures. Good job and thanks for posting it.

Oh, and as for the film type. How about Sony Dig I-Tal.

Now this is a very unique and unusual bug macro. Love it!

[ttusa]

Thanks for all your kind comments everyone! He's a cute little booger!

[bburton]

Very well done, indeed. You are truly masterful at close-ups and macros.

[Russell]

That's a great perspective. Nice job.

[DJ.]

That is a great shot! I really like the way you captured those little eyes peering out.

Great shot of a cute(?) bug. Good work again Therese.

[ttusa]

Thank you again! Yes Tim I think it's a cutie!

[Glassman]

Fantastic shot...I love it.

[Roy]

Sorry Therese, I meant to post on this earlier. This is a special shot with all the blending colors and then young grasshopper is found caught in the middle of all of it. I love it!
