Howdy All,

Ponders let her Orchid Mantid vist with me for a photo shoot :).

Canon 5D MIII with the 100L Macro lens along with a full set of Kenko extensions. f/13, 1/60th, ISO 400. I used two wireless external flash units with some simple light modifiers to soften the light. I used Lightroom 4.2 to tweak sharpness, noise etc.

This little girl is only about 1/2" long.

I wish I could find these for sale anywhere, I've wanted to breed them for years now.

... Now I have a chameleon he'd likely get the majority of the ooth. :)


Fantastic picture ;)
