was this before you guys had it for lunch? :bsmilie: who was it who said catch the insects, bring back and shoot? i hope this wasn't what happened, as they normally die :cry:
No lah.. He was photographing the text and the mantis got curious and peek from the side.
Hope I'm not too late (better late than never right?) ;p
All shot with 7D, 17-35. (No PP done)

Actually the Cosina lens....even though "did not get good respect locally" performs really well.
I do have a 100-300mm f5.6-6.7 cosina lens - mainly suitable for sunny days, it performed really well given the right choice aperture. My first zoom lens i bought from myself about 9yrs ago when i bought my Minolta 400si.

very good for a first attempt :thumbsup: a wider lens (shorter focal length) would have caught the reflection too. great place to shoot from, those of us at the "stadium" had a good close up view, but for photography, that was a nightmare...
Is that why after you manage to focus and shoot, the nose is reddish? :bsmilie:
saw this beautiful sky, will be a great loss not to shoot it.
