n0b0 Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #3 · Not everyone will like the colour! That is one fat mantis. Secondary colours, blue and yellow mix into green, yellow and red mix into orange, red and blue mix into the abdominal purple, very nice actually. Did I mention that that is one fat mantis? My fave is the first and second frame. Oct 09, 2009 at 07:11 PM

Dalantech Online Image Upload: Off p.1 #10 · Not everyone will like the colour! Love the color Phil How far away was the flash from the subject -I'm seeing some clearly defined shadows and specular highlights that are a little harsh. Looks like there was too much distance between the light source and the subject. Oct 10, 2009 at 09:16 AM

Matt_3D Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #14 · Not everyone will like the colour! Colour is great Phil. At first before the top image had fully loaded I thought the mantis was sitting on a leaf, I didn't realise that the leaf was it's wings. What an amazing creature. Oct 13, 2009 at 03:27 AM

LCPete Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #15 · Not everyone will like the colour! I agree the background colour works very well I like the last one best but they are all excellent Pete Oct 13, 2009 at 03:09 PM

raystack Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #17 · Not everyone will like the colour! Are these centerfold shots for MantisBabe Magazine?? Have had a grand time looking at your shots and have learned lot. Looks like it's time to pull out some of the old gear and play. Thanks! Nov 05, 2009 at 08:44 AM

TheBat Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #18 · Not everyone will like the colour! Hi Phil, I was hoping that someone might ask my question for me but. . . . Can you give me a guide to your studio/setting for the mantis pics? I'm thinking glass over the background sheeting on the bottom, but is that is all that is needed to get the subject's refection, or is thicker than normal glass necessary to get the 'mirror' effect? AND, from which direction do you supply your lighting to get the reflection without blowing out the reflected image due to excessive light from the actual flash? Hope that sounds right to someone Bruce... Edited on Nov 09, 2009 at 12:32 PM · View previous versions Nov 08, 2009 at 09:37 AM
