Stick Insects | liewwk

The Phasmatodea (sometimes called Phasmida or Phasmatoptera) are an order of insects, whose members are variously known as stick insects (in Europe and Australasia), walking sticks or stick-bugs (in the United States and Canada), phasmids, ghost insects and leaf insects (generally the family Phylliidae). The ordinal name is derived from the Ancient Greek φάσμα phasma, meaning an apparition or phantom, and refers to the resemblance of many species to sticks or leaves. Their natural camouflage can make them extremely difficult to spot. Phasmatodea can be found all over the world in warmer zones, especially the tropics and subtropics. The greatest diversity is found in Southeast Asia and South America, followed by Australia. Phasmids also have a considerable presence in the continental United States, mainly in the Southeast.

How I shoot MACRO

 

i capture what I see ….

… big mirror …
– Lee Filter GND .6s
– Lee Filter 4×4 CPL

sometime we always ask do we just capture beautiful places/view/insect/model pictures ?  this picture just a very simple picture that show the reflection from the lake .. but for me this is a beautiful view and I wish to share with my friends, family … etc .. and why care is this a good “photography” or not 😀

I have friends telling to me recently, “photographer A always shoot the same places … he/she not boring ?” … “aiya his/her pictures so so only, the places are beautiful” … “aiya, his/her picture no foreground one why like that also apture” … “why his/her picture so plain one not creative at all” …………….

I always just reply with .. “ohh” .. “hmmm” , why care other, ask yourself “do you enjoy this hobby?” if YES , then it is enough else why ? 😀
