Grasshopper for Saturday Critter

 


I had very limited opportunity to photograph nature, let alone insects or animals. As a result, I revisited my personal archives and selected this image, which was taken nearly twenty years ago. At the time, it was captured using a very early and relatively basic Pentax DSLR.

  1. I don’t think you could do any better today with a newer and fancier camera. 👍

  2. Em sembla fantàstica i més pensant que està feta fa gairebé vint anys.

    Salutacions!

  3. It is so well camouflaged! I don't think I would even have noticed it. It looks almost luminescent, too.

  4. Impressive how much expressiveness such an early DSLR can offer. Proof that the photographer’s eye matters more than the equipment.

  6. Tremenda fotografía de Naturaleza. Me encanta como has logrado dar todo el protagonismo a esa rama y al insecto dejando el fondo desenfocado para que no robe atención. Es muy bueno ese bokeh.
    Un abrazo

  9. It is clear that you where in a very green environment. Still a nice shot for such an old camera.

  10. Se nota la habilidad del fotógrafo para conseguir esa foto de tanta calidad, con una cámara de hace 20 años.

    Saludos.

  11. Merry Christmas! I hope you get a break in the weather soon so you can get back out there with your current gear, but until then, these archive gems are a real treat.
