Pecole Posted July 1, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 1, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) It is the very first time that a mantis visits us since the 8 years we live in the Algarve. This one was a "baby" : 26 mm long (without front antennas...). A perfect occasion to test the macro possibilities of my tiny V-Lux 20. Fortunately enough, this type of animal moves quite slowly (except when it decides to fly away), but anyhow, I must confess I was surprised by the results, especially due to the difficulty of aiming and focusing at a white background under strong sun.

Northwest Wanderer Posted July 2, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 2, 2015 It's always interesting to view images of such strange insects. I like the second image the most. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted July 3, 2015 Share #3 Posted July 3, 2015 A fine set. I like the first for its congruence between the mantis and its shadow as well as the composition. Paul 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
