Foraging Cricket
I found this Cricket foraging on a Dandelion at the Monte Orlando Nature Preserve in Gaeta, Italy in July of 2020. The nature preserve gets a lot of foot traffic, so I think this critter was use to people being around.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (2x) + a diffused MT-26EX RT (E-TTL metering). This is a single, cropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Sharpen AI and Clarity in that order. I dragged the shutter and increased the ISO to expose for the natural light in the background while keeping the subject in the shade.
