Camera Critters #21

.


Camera Critters is a weekend meme brought to you by BBFF, Misty, whose passion for both animals and photography is defined in this meme.


This is my pathetic attempt at a close up on an insect. For some reason I just can't get it right. I know, I know......."focus Grasshopper". LOL

(Get it......."focus Grasshopper" from the old television show Kung Fu with David Carradine.)

LOL.. "Focus, Grasshopper!" I really enjoyed that show. I have a hard time focusing on insects. They seem to want to move! :)

I was sitting here yesterday minding my own business and i heard this "THUNK" on the window next to me. I glance up and there's the biggest grasshopper i have ever seen. Like mutated big lol. I'm not scared of them but i like to look out the window alot and i was sick of seeing this thing's underbelly. So i send the kid out to dispatch it. It jumped in his hair and he screamed like a girl. Lovvvvved it!

Hoppers are such fun! It isn't a bad shot either.

I have yet to get a really good shot of a grasshopper. I did post one on my blog a bit ago but the shadow is better than the actual bug because you can't actually see his head. I liked the camouflage effect he had.

At least you can definitely tell that this is a grasshopper.

Tootie said...

Cute idea, the grasshopper. I like your skywatch photo too.

Sue said...

Not bad! I can never get very good bug shots :(

My entry is here

Stop by if you have a moment. Have a great week ahead!

Tammy, it's adorable! It almost looks like an anime. It's lovely!
Was wondering if you voted on Whose Role...Z is for Zorro? The winners were Antonio Banderas, Catherine-Zeta Jones, and John Goodman. I hope you enjoy "Eve's Got Mail."

Yup … I had the ‘Ku Fu’ reference the minute I read it … ;--)
I don’t have much luck with this kind of shot either … but they say practice makes perfect.
My Camera Critters post is up at Small Reflections (along with a bunch of other stuph) … featuring Molly and Ms. Kitty interacting … sort of.
Hugs and blessings,

You are so freaking funny! Come hang out with me - I'll show you how to get insect close ups and then we'll sit around all night talking and drinking beer... errrr... I mean root beer, of course!

Minkydo said...

Not bad. I have trouble with close-ups as well.
