Crickets

[crusher]

Taken at Hilsea earlier today.........

1. Bush Cricket

2. I think this is a Wood Cricket. Poor chap had lost a leg in a spider's web but was still making his getaway!

C & C always welcomed.

Thanks..........and you're right about the first shot. It was taken with a Panasonic FZ8 with a Raynox and onboard flash. My first try at using the Panasonic for macro (and the only shot I kept from about a dozen I took with it). Need to practice more!

I agree #1 is a tad noisy but still a great shot

#2 seems to be missing a little "something" though
edit should have read the caption

I like the cricket - very sharp detailing - was that also taken with the Raynox attached?

The wood cricket (No2) was taken with my D300, sigma 105mm Macro and Marumi ring-flash. No Raynox. Of course, it helps with the sharpness when they've lost a leg or two and they can't move very fast

You might want to run the first one through a noise reduction software, hang on.....
I've done it for you

Thanks very much mate..............you're getting quite good at doing my processing for me

You're either going to have to show me how to do it properly or I'm going to have to start paying you

Well since being made redundant last month the later would be most welcome.
