I was washing windows today when I spotted this guy on the outside. I quickly grabbed my macro lens and caught this 1:1 magnification shot.

What does 1:1 magnification mean? This picture must be bigger than lifesize!

No, this is the usual size of grasshoppers here around. That's the bug which devastates so frequently Africa !

Once I caught one of 1 meter long ! That makes food for one week...
In fact the 1:1 ratio means that 1mm in real life makes 1mm ont the cam sensor...

He looks like Godzilla barrelling down on the defenseless city! Fun shot.

Cool you have your macro lens near. The result is really good.
