Shell

[luenny]

Hi,
After reading the photography section recently I was thinking to myself. What is this man, all birds photo only, where are the bugs??

So, to balance it up a bit, here's a bug shot of mine. Well, actually it's just a shell.

Luenny,
Cute and creative shot
Why shoot shell, no live cicada?

Richard,
Cannot find live ones. Maybe the spiders there got to them first. Anyway, with live ones, I will not be able to get this glow effect. It's the translucent shell that allows me to do so.

Maybe the spiders there got to them first.

So that's why we only see shots of birds and spiders!

Nice shot!

Thanks for your kind comments. This shot has been in my head for some time already but was too lazy to pull it off until now. Was always distracted by other things. Good thing about the place I went is, it's full of empty shells on the trees so I can have my pick on a suitable one to do this.
