4111. PHOTOGRAPHY TIP: Grasshopper at 11 AM, 9 OCT 2022.

8 OCT 2022

PHOTOGRAPHY TIP: Use tripod. Shoot multiple shots in AV Mode. Indirect sunlight.

A basking Japanese Rice Grasshopper (Oxya japonica) in Yio Chu Kang Cres forest, 11AM, 9 OCT 2022, is a pest as it eats the farmers' crops. Global warming has increased its numbers in some countries. 

Tripod is necessary. Canon R5, 105 mm zoom. AV Mode. F/10. ISO 100. About 5 feet away. Bright sunlight. Little breeze in Yio Chu Kang Cres forest. Multiple mosquitoes around my hands and trousers. Surprisingly, this grasshopper is not hopping away despite several minutes of photography. I had a video made too.
