I Love Rain (Explored, Front Page)

I Love Rain, originally uploaded by Yogendra174.

Trust me.. i had a heck of a time today.. just went to the building garden for 15 mins (took a break from hectic work!). It was raining and guess what.. this dragonfly was sitting on the tree.. so wet and cold that he was in no mood to fly!

My Usual equipment friends:
Canon 1000 D + Sigma APO DG Macro 70-300 + Raynox DCR 250 + home-made Pop-up-flash diffuser (Hand-held, manual focus)
and most importantly.. my "tube" diffuser specially created for macro with 70-300 & Raynox!

This grasshopper was very wet, it was drizzling and he did not want to fly away (may be he was too cold to fly). so i got some interesting angles with him. sharing a few more!

Peek-a-boo

Peek-a-boo, originally uploaded by Yogendra174.

I have no clue what's the name of this insect.. it was a very long inset with LARGE round eyes, long antenna and delicate long wings! It was literally hiding behind this twig and every time i move it used to adjust itself to go exactly on the opposite direction and keep looking at me with those big eyes... i did get one shot of it from another angle by deceiving it.. but this one is a better one.

Technical:

Natural Light.

Equipment: Canon 1000D + Raynox DCR 250 mounted on 70-300 sigma lens.. manual focus and handheld on a monopod.

Focal Length : 70mm
Exposure: 1/60s : f/13 : ISO 250

Post Processing: RAW conversion, Rotate, Crop in UFRaw & Selective High-Pass in GIMP
Two other shots of the same insect with slightly different angle!
