Grasshopper Macro Close Ups

by Dennis Goedegebuure Leave a Comment

Tonight I got the chance of shooting some macro pictures of a Grasshopper sitting on our kitchen window. I needed to shoot the pictures with a flash because I had no time to set up a tripod as I was afraid the grasshopper would fly away. Last time, I was too late, so I didn’t want to loose this opportunity. Although last time when the grasshopper flew away, the little insect was about 3 times bigger than this little fellow, with Macro you can still get good shots and makes the grasshopper look big! Especially if you post process the image, and crop to a much better focus on the subject.

Just look at how the little grasshopper is smiling at himself in the window…
