"The restless grasshopper only finds rest in the gizzard of a bird."

in steemfeed •  6 years ago 

This is a macro shot I took of a grasshopper resting after hopping from plant to plant after today's hard rains here in Central Florida.

The shot was captured with a Canon 80D camera with a 70 - 300mm lens.

In addition to this grasshopper, I was able to capture additional shots of other grasshoppers.

Awesome shots. How are you able to get close enough to take advantage of macro mode. I had a bee I was trying to get a shot of this weekend, but even in macro mode it was too blurry up close and when I moved back far enough to get it in focus it was too far away to look cool. I was using my phone though, so that could be part of the problem!

@bozz it is hard to get a clear shot with the phone, unless you get one of those newer phones that have a ridiculously pristine shot.

Yeah, mine is a couple of years old. It still has a great camera, but I am not surprised it is still quite limited.
