p.1 #1 · Nikon 200mm Micro w/6T Closeup


I didn't dare put Grasshopper in the title, but when I walked around the yard this is all that I found that would sit still long enough for this shot. I have been awfully impressed with Tom's work with the 500D but since they do not make one to directly screw onto the Nikon's 200mm macro, I thought I would give Nikon's 6T a try. It was overcast and late in the afternoon so this was shot with a flash. The angle on him was not the best, but I think it shows that the 6T adds some additional benefits to the 200mm micro. I did a crude measurement on him with my flash and his body was about 2.5 in (64mm) long. The distance from the front of the lense to subject was about 9 to 10 inches (2.5 cm).

ISO80, f/32, 1/125 second, shot in manual mode.

#1 is 70% of full frame, I cropped off some leaves.

WARNING! For the faint hearted before you scroll down to #3 it is a Pixel for Pixel crop of his mouth. Not a pretty site.

Yikes! Looks like you are starting to learn this lens. This shot is beyond awesome. You and Tom need to go publish a bug identification book.

Are those tobacco stains? The thing looks like it chews tobacco. Do hoppers chew?

Thanks Gary, I don't know if he chews tobacco, but shortly after this shot he jumped a smaller hopper and they both tumbled to the ground and went after it for a short while. When I went to investigate I noticed the little hopper was missing a leg and I couldn't find where the big hopper went to.

Thanks John, yeah I liked his colors too. They really blend in well with the leaves.

Hi people,

DPP v.3.0.0.3

Is there as highlight/shadow alert and if so where is it 'cos I cant find it.

I'm sure a previous version had it but I also may have dreamt that

Regards

Greg
