Egyptian Grasshopper

Normally they are a vivid green, but this guy was a bit darker.
The close up is an exposure stack of about 10 images to extend the dof so pretty much
all of the little guy is focus. Profiles are a lot easier. Tip when doing this is to fix the exposure so there are no tonal changes through the sequence.. Of course if the sun goes behind a cloud you have to start again, similarly if the critter moves a smidgen you also have to start again - this type of shot can take ages to complete sometimes.

They may look a bit odd, but they are perfectly camouflaged, it´s easy to walk straight past them and never notice they are close by :-)

Thank you i managed to get focus from front to back by stacking the exposures, takes time but it´s worth doing especially on flowers..
