Default another day of bug hunting

My addiction continues!

Caught this one yesterday. Meant to just shoot the passion flwr. then happened to notice this guy ;-) he was kind enough to pose for me.

green on red

I don't why this one reminded me of something out of Flashdance LOL, a pole dancer ;-) Looks like he/she has a spot light on her.

private dancer-

This one reminded me of a Super Hero ;-) Fully armored!


Super Hero Hopper


finally figuring out LightRoom, I kind of like the BF in bW.

Tally Ho, bugs at 7 O'clock. Great hunt. These are wonderful shots. I like the lighting. Gives me a few ideas for my next hung. Thanks for sharing.

Stunning, Stella! That should be your DPS name, StunningStella! These are awesome! Excellent DOF...detail, and just enough bokeh w/o having to sacrifice detail on the hopper! Thanks for sharing these!
