Common Green Grasshopper?

[LukeC]

Just got my first proper macro lens (only the budget Sigma 105mm f2.8 with OS) and I'm well impressed so far! This isn't the most detailed photo of my quick 30 min test run, but I thought it was the nicest overall. I think it's a Common Green Grasshopper but on the identification page they all looked the same to me!! Feel free to leave any advice, comments or criticism thanks

It looks good to me, Luke.
Plus, there is nothing wrong with the Sigma. Its a very capable lens

Thanks! I was very impressed with the IQ from it straight away. It obviously doesn't have the fastest, most quiet or accurate AF but it did the job just fine. Great value I'd say!

Nice shot and I do like the Sigma 105, great lens.

Nice capture Luke - and it's deffo a short-horned grasshopper (there are thousands of them in the acrididae family.

The sigma 105 is a pretty decent lens as is the shot Luke.

Thanks Graham, I think I agree about the lens!

Thanks Paul, glad to learn a bit more as I’m finding the insect world very confusing!
