Great shot Frank,

#2 is just amazing, such perfect dof and i love the colors.

With which filter did you shot that one ?
And with which camera settings, total zoom & macro mode ?

Hi Edwin,

For all the shots I stacked both the +2 & +4 filter.. I shot in Macro and had the camera set to Programed Auto mode. The lens was set to full wide angle.

Edwin is running to the shop to get himself a set of those filters
Thanks for the info !

Fantastic shots. I agree with Edwin with # 2. Looks like the Hopper is about to attack me!

Wow. Because I'm not much of a bug fan, I tend to stay away from bug threads. 'Glad I paid a visit to this one. Franck, these shots are incredible. I'm especially fond of # 2.

Thanks for sharing these with us.

lovin' these... #2 is my fav, but they are all great!

Great work Frank ....

Hope you have a great New Year.

Have a look at a 300d if you want a cheap alternative to the 10d keep an eye out for my postings for examples of what it can do.

Very nice, except for nr 5 which is blurry.

Franck, Buddy I think we have been practicing, these are great shots my friend , I like #4 the best but all are very good composition wise. Try to use a tripod if you aren't and shoot at a smaller f stop. use your timer if you have one . these young hoppers should stay still long enough. these are very good franck even though it may seem i'm picking on you.

Franck, these are some fine shots here. I love the colors in #4 and would like to see some more of him.

Thank you Eileen. I hope we can encourage you to view more bug macro's. Mine are pretty average compared to the others on this board

Thanks for your kind words. They are very encouraging
