Toilet Stop macro

[tchuanye]

Was at Malaysia, and the bus broke down at one of the small rest stops with only toilet facilities. So while waiting, take some shots outside the toilet.....

FZ30+Raynox 250, F11, various speeds, ISO80 , 2 diffuse flash

#1: Heavy jumper (I think)


#2:Looking up


#3: looking right


#4: Looking sideways


#5: Than it spotted something....

#6: A treehopper


#7: But after pouncing on it, it immediately jerk away???? why? Not too sure, perhaps the TH has some defence mechanism.
Shot taken after the JS went away....


#8: Meanwhile.....another JS lurks by....

Apart from the first photo, if you could increase the contrast a little bit for the rest. The leaves seemed to be a little over-exposed. Your previous posting of spiders were excellent.

Thanks chvictor! The leaves were quite challenging. Appreciate if you could do some PS demo on my pics to illustrate what can be done to salvage it? Many thanks!

Very nice!!! Really like the first frame.

If you don't mind sharing, how to you mount your 2 flashes?

Cheers,
