Leafhopper Macro

Paul Iddon

Well, after a brief sojourn down the experimental street, where I managed to escape just about intact, it's back to the macro for me.

Here are three leafhopper shots from this morning. The light was not up to much as usual around my neck of the woods, so it's ringflash time again.

The hopper was on a leaf from that variegated laurel-like thing in the garden.

C&C as always gratefully received.

Love #3--how did you get it to sit still for a photo? They always "hop" away before I can even get the camera out!

Trial and error for me. I just wait until it walks into where I pre-focus and shoot!
