Title:
"Illuminated Hopper"
Category:
Artistic
Description:
This grasshopper was attracted to a blacklight at this summer’s
Master Gardener training in College Station. I liked the classic
illustration of grasshopper form against the pure white of the sheet being
used to blacklight.
Equipment/technique:
Canon D-60, 100 Canon macro, using a Canon 550 EX Speedlight with diffuser. Resized
and brightened using Curves tool in Photoshop. Also, removed a few
dark spots on the sheet with the Clone tool in Photoshop to give the background
a pristine look.
Location:
July, 2005. Easterwood Airport, College Station, TX. Brazos Co. USA.
