[Mole]

Thats nice you can get insects to pose for you

 

[LaFoto]

This mantis WANTED her photo taken, I understand?
You and the mantis had an agreement beforehand?
She signed the contract and then POSED?

I am sure!
For else ... :scratch: ???

[Dan28607]

great shot!

 

[woodsac]

Thanks guys!

The agreement was...'pose'...or 'shoe'. She chose 'pose'

 

[Michael Humle]

That is incredible! Can you explain what you used and what the conditions were?

 

[Tantalus]

Nice pose indeed. It looks like indoor shooting?

 

[woodsac]

Michael...Tantalus hit it. This was shot inside. So there really weren't any 'conditions' for this one. I found this guy inside, placed him on a plant, and took some shots.

Same as almost all of my insect macros...Sigma 150mm macro, ProMaster 7500 with Lumiquest softbox, mounted on a Manfrotto macro flash bracket.

 

[Corry]

Woody, he looks like he's about to go all kung fu on you! Very cool shot...I love how it's almost like he's personified.

And Achy...Starship Troopers is a great movie!
