So this little guy simply amazes me. I was walking along taking pictures of the girls last week when he caught my eye. He had devoured most of a huge leaf. He was so well camouflaged, I almost step over him. He was so beautiful with his whispy, shiny guard lashes. I got down and personal, right on my belly. Again, who cares who see's me right?
I was playing with my settings mostly the field of depth because it's easiest. I really got what I was looking for here. The back ground almost looks digitally blurred. I couldn't believe my camera could do this. I really love this type of subject - it totally floats my boat!
I hope you all enjoy. I have included a wider shot to show you just how much this little glutton put away.
Faces Friday with Scott next...

ReplyDeleteListen up Blogger, when I take the time to write some long winded comment, you need to actually post it.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Jay'me just realized what I had to say Thursday never actually went to print,
Here's a synopsis.
This fuzzy dude makes me smile. I don't know why but I just want to squish on him. He's so unsuspecting. Just hanging out doing is work.
The colors in the photo are beautiful. I love the blue sky in the second picture but I'm not wild about it in the first. I find it distracting somehow. Like it takes my eye away from the "star". I probably would have cropped it out. But I'm sure there are people out there that would want to see more blue. Great job capturing natures beauty once again.
I'm finally getting around to commenting. Nice work Jay'me. I would say you might want to shade the front of your lens the next time you take a photo like this. See how it's sort of washed out and lacks contrast? That's an effect of lens flare and it's easily combated with a lens hood or just shading the lens with your hand or something else. I do it all the time. You'll be amazed at the difference.
ReplyDeleteI love that you took the time to get low. That's a sign of a photography that cares and wants to get a good shot. It makes such a huge difference. Well done!
