Praying Mantis #2
by Mark Seaver
I got lucky on Saturday and found a Praying Mantis as I wandered the field next door. Once I slowed down, it calmed down and I was able to take some close ups. I posted one in the weekly challenge gallery (unusual eyes, topic) but have some other views to share. This one is an 11 shot stack, taken to get the entire head sharp. I used a fast shutter to freeze any motion due to a slight breeze and shot fast to minimize motion between frames. (5D3, 100 mm macro L + 56mm ET, f/5, 1/320s, iso 400, tripod)
