I what exploring with my dog the bush near my home in Jundiaí, São Paulo, Brazil, lucking for insects or, birds to photograph. When suddenly sow this little grasshopper, taking the last sunshine of the day. In this moment I was with my D5100 and a Sigma 70-200mm 2.8. I attached an extension tube and start to shoot.Time
I was in the golden our, without a tripod searching for wildlife with the perfect light to shoot. I was very looky to find this little insect. :)Lighting
Yes.... Alwase try to use natural light! It is dam hard. But, worth it! The lighr used was the natural light of golden our, nothing more. No flash, no reflectors, nothing... Only me and the insect! :)Equipment
I used a NIKON D5100 + Sigma 70-200mm with an extension tube, :)Inspiration
