The hooded beauty

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: hooded grasshopper(Teratodes monticollis)

A beautiful specimen we came across during the late winters along the trail, it seemed to have fallen off the tree while we were entering the trail's entrance. Probably due to the fall it restrained itself from moving, eventually aiding us in experimenting it with some frames.

Canon 550D
Canon 50mm f/1.8 + 25mm extension tube
F/7.1
Shutterspeed 1/100
ISO 400

Good details. Liked the vertical composition, maybe a slight less space on top would have been good. Thanks for sharing.

Indeed, details and focus are a good part of the image.

This one looks nice. Why didn't you use the 100mm macro?

[Prajwal J Ullal]

Sabyasachi Sir, I indeed took one with 100mm macro too, but wanted to try out a slightly wider frame so explored it with 50mm and extension tubes
