[stan the man]

and a few other insects.my first visit to these forums for a short while as i've been busy pursuing othe subjects,but thought it time i did some more macro after finding out that there are grasshoppers on some land adjacent to my house...also spotted a few flies and a small garden orb spider.

all shot with sigma 105 and 36mm extension tube..

yep,it is a waiting game with bugs...the grass hopper was constantly moving around,but it did occasionaly stay stationary long enough to get it in focus and take the shot....i'm still learning myself...keep at it and your results will improve.

Lovely set Stan, really good details.. The last hopper looks like it's crying ... ("Can't you just leave me alone and keep that flash out of my eyes")

Beautiful shots Stan. The focus is spot on.
