A Few of Icy's Favourites (more shots added)

[Neil Burnell]

A few of Icy's favourite insects!

All shot with: D7200, Tamron 60mm F2 (on 36mm tubes) SB400 diffused flash.

Roughly shot at 1.8:1 most images are cropped by 20-30%









And one non hopper shot:

The first and last! Magnificent!

Excellent set... super lighting plus detail and focus spot on.

Maybe a shadow lift on #4 is the only flaw I can find and I'm really nit picking.

A few more from yesterday.











Focus is a smidgen off on the jumper, but still sharp enough at a fairly decent resolution.

Nice stick insect in the last. Great lighting on all of them.

I think that second shot makes the bug almost look like a sci fi space ship that has just landed or about to take off

Cheers Bryn , #4 looked fine on my home iMac but looks a little dark at work.
