naturally mantisby `Blepharopsis

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Invertebrates

A large female of some Hierodula species.

Mixing ambient and well diffused flash light in just right proportions gives nice results.

Jayawijaya mountains (Mount Elit massive) visible in the background.

Irian Jaya, near Pilliam village.

another colourful insect for the mantis-maniac collection !

I noticed the 800 iso. Do you compensate for the maybe -3 stops of 90 degree flash or is just weather conditions please ?
