Excellent session with a Grasshopper

IPClark

This Grasshopper actually found me. I was prowling around in the garden when something caught my eye as it jumped through the air and landed on my arm. Talk about bold, curious or just a bit confused. Either way... I coaxed it onto my hand I got an excellent photo session from it










Then onto a flower for a vibrant burst of extra colour



...Ooh, and a bonus Bee shot. This bumblebee was just hanging around for a photo-shoot

nice work. First 4 a little light?

IPClark

Thanks Josh,

Light as in perhaps could burn in a little on the hopper? Exposure looks good on my screen. Fingers a little light but aren't blown. However, I think the hopper could possibly have a little bit of shadows burnt in perhaps?

Wonderful shots Ian - the hopper looks like it's made of marble

Thank you Brian, it was certainly very freckly

It's the first hopper I've spotted in our garden so rather pleased.

Fantastic. Crisp and clear. Please send him my way so he can train the grasshoppers around here...who take off if you look at them sideways.
