My focus and exposure were a bit off, if I did it again I'd use a tripod and smaller apeture.
1/50th at f/8, iso 200, 50mm held on backwards.
I wouldn't use it regularly but just to have a go it works pretty well! Thanks Kombi!

I'm an absolute beginner so use very basic techniques...
Using Pentax istDS with sigma 28-80 lens with macro switch and camera in macro mode / RAW, I just got as close as the focus would let me. The flash caused a bit too much reflection in the eyes and face so I tweaked it slightly with photoshop.
The technical bit was chasing the bug around the back yard until he got too tired and had no choice but to pose.
I just need to learn when to stop with photoshop...

I've always called them a praying mantis but I'm sure there is many names for them.
