Water Bug

Posted by Twelvebit (Victoria, United States) on 22 January 2009 in Animal & Insect.

Took this moments after the Cicada snaps, but the Cicada had been in direct sunlight and this guy was in shadow at the bottom of a fence --hence the more open aperture and much slower shutter speed wreaking havoc with sharpness and DOF. Also, the sun was setting and the light overall was fading fast. And I was afraid if I went inside to get a flash he'd be gone when I got back.
