For the longest time I have wanted to capture a praying mantis. I really wanted a green one. But now that I found one, I won't be picky. Little bugger kept moving, he was really hard to try and get the perfect focus on, cause of that the focus is all over the place. But I snapped a bunch of shots trying to get something that'd turn out. I think these few turned out pretty decent.

Discuss.

this looks amazing!

Thanks.

On another note, I finally updated/ organized my flickr. Yay!

i love it! =D

love the third one

hey there. Come back already.

Impressive!
With this DoF and the moving mantle, I believe you when you say it was hard to get the focus right!!!

Thanks Marie.

cool pics! It's really impressive that you managed to get this guy in focus with a reversed macro lens. I have tried to take some close up pics of bugs with mine but the working distance is just waaay too close so they kept running away lol -.- :@

Lol, yep... He/she/it kept trying to run away. But I wouldn't let it haha. Felt kinda like a jerk not letting him be though.
