Praying Mantis (Orthodera ministralis)
I was lucky enough to come across a praying mantis (I think this was a Garden Mantid) possibly Orthodera ministralis) recently. I could not help but get out the camera and capture some photos, the incredible creature was placed into the garden after I captured a few quick shots.
The image was captured with a Nikon D610 & Sigma 150mm Macro. Specific settings were ISO 1250, f/16 & 1/160 seconds.
There were a few edits, I used Lightroom for some preliminary edits before applying Sharpening using Topaz Sharpen AI, Denoise using Topaz Denoise AI, General Edits using Luminar 4 (Light, AI Enhance, AI Sky Enhance, AI Structure), and cleaned up the photo using Affinity Photo (to remove the countless smudges, crop and make some selective edits).

I was just about to service my bike and fit a new chain, the old one had covered over 3500 miles which is a lot of pedalling by any standards. I thought the chain would make an interesting macro image so here it is.
Today broke cloudy, misty and dewy. Perfect for finding treasures in the boxwood bushes:)
Happy bokeh Wednesday!
