This is my post for the challenge on #monomad curated by
Good evening everyone, so tonight I want to share a photographic object of an insect called Acanthocephala, I found this insect standing on a twig of a plant that was still alive. At first it was tearing the leaves of the plant it was stepping on, then I wanted to shoot it because For me, this insect has its own characteristics. In the initial stages I photographed him, he felt afraid of humans because the distance between me and the object was very close, but he didn't run away, he just walked forward and then looked back, that's all his behavior, but for me it was still very difficult to shoot him with his behavior like that, I decided to spray him with water then that's when he stopped acting.
In this image I set the ISO above 100 and below 300 because at that time the weather around me was very dark and also helped with a shutter speed of 1/50 to 1/100, I used this so the image would look a little brighter and the object could be seen more clearly. Below are some pictures taken by my cellphone camera.
In the picture above, I also didn't forget to look at the soft side of the background. This can affect the image object to look more detailed. Oh yes, friends, here I didn't just take a photo with a cell phone, but was assisted with additional equipment, namely a macro lens with a focal distance of 35 mm so that the object looks bigger.
OK, friends, this is all I can show off on this occasion, I hope thank you for reading my post and see you.
