Spotted this fantastic looking Preying Mantis in the Kondalilla National Park. It was about 2cm and I think a infant of it’s species. I’m unable to identify the species. Colour is only slightly enhanced, this was his natural colours, and he was hunting on live and dead leaves, so he was very camouflaged. If it wasn’t for the little jumping spider I was watching, I would have walked straight past this guy. Amazing stealth hunters. Kondalilla National Park, Flaxton, Queensland, Australia. Canon 5D Mk II, 65mm, 3x. Available Large and definately best viewed Large!

This group was designed for all kinds of nature macro photography, from invertebrate, flowers … Super Macro
Only show your best work Please, read the rules!!! Let us take it from the basics of what super macro photography is. Super macro is referred to the photographing of subjects at a ratio of more than 1:1. Normal macro is when we shoot at 1:1 magnification ratio, that is the 1mm of the subject is produced on the sensor as 1mm. Now super macro photography is when we represent 1mm on the subject as more than 1mm on the sensor.
What does super macro photography do?
The photographs become so detailed that you can compare them to looking at an object through a microscope. These photographs have vivid detail of the miniature world. Commercially they are required for text books journals etc. They are also used in advertisements and such promotional materials. Most importantly it allows the photographer to capture a world that is not seen with the naked eye.The image below shows a super macro of a leaf.
We can and will reject all images that don’t fit into these rules or that we think don’t have the quality we’re looking for.
We want to thank all those who joined us and showed their fabulous work .
