(8 Pics) Some Colorful Bugs and Another Frog Capture · 05:41 PM

After the rain today

Now this is color!!!

Awaiting his prey!

Really not colorful (as noted in title), but cool nonetheless

And, today's frog capture

I'm liking your closeup work, joe.penn. Good stuff!

Indeed some rich & varied subjects, skillfully captured!

"awaiting its prey" seems to be eating one already

Very jealous of all these different insects you are finding! Living in the suburbs absolutely sucks....... though I did find an absolutely beautiful Phidippus adumbratus male yesterday

Joe, concerning the frog offer, my wife says I am not responsible enough and she would end up having to take care of it. Great series here, maybe when I am older. Bob

Great set of shots, just wonder what flash+diffusor did you use

Nice! Are you gonna do some focus stacking with it?

Bob, tell her they are very easy to take care of - mist the container every so often and make sure she/he has water and pet store crickets to eat and you are all done (well, clean tank every so often)

I use a YN-560 flash (most shots 1, sometimes 2) - I use this softbox: Impact Mini Softbox 10032080 B&H Photo Video
As for flash positioning, I sometimes have it mounted on camera (on hotshot mounted tilt piece) and sometimes take it off camera and use it handheld with wireless trigger.
Thanks for the compliment
