The grasshopper!

This pic was a the true test of patience & steadyness. I was zooming at this insect very closly. Took over 10 pics till i got the closest possible macro zoom, with complete clarity. Had I made any sound, the insect would have flown away!

I like the outcome...

    Hey,

    Does you camera have contro over aperture.

    I guess this picture would have been better if the aperture would have been a little more open. You could have compensated on exposure by slightly reducing the shutter speed. But the result would have been better as the grasshopper would have been more visible than the leaf. Now it's a little dark.

    I learnt this technique while shooting a bird at Saras Baug
