Pre-work, pre-coffee, pre-sunrise

I found this one in mid-molt. After the first shots, I cut the blade of grass and moved it to the table. I started to do a time lapse, but Mr. hopper had other ideas and started moving. After it dried gulley, the colors are blue and orange.

Nice patient work! And a beautiful looking specimen! I do know one thing: You macro guys are really, really dedicated - and it shows! Just looking in to admire the work you have done with the 105 you are selling. I bought a used Tokina earlier this year, but have not really worked with it. I took some really good shots, and then my patience wanes. I end up just shooting. No set-up. That's why I admire the macro-group.

I think it's more persistence than patience. After a little while of bug hunting, you know the best places to look for subjects. Another poster - sippyjug104 - has a indoor set-up and gets great stacked images.
