First shot at macro
I made a friend yesterday while cleaning the fallen leaves from my yard. My cat first noticed the mantis and got super curious, and that made me aware of it. I enjoy seeing all sorts of different bugs in my yard as long as they are not destructive pests and so far i documented a lot of different spiders and frogs but this is the first time i saw a praying mantis this mature.
I tried to pick it up to place it somewhere safe but before i got the idea of trying the macro part of my Freewell WCL.
Focusing the moving friend with my X100V was most of the times a 50/50 chance and then i tried to keep the focus manual and physically getting into the focus range.
All of these are SOOC.
If you have any advice of shooting alive insects it please share.
Body - Fujifilm X100V
Lens - Freewell 2in1 WCL
