[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Busy busy busy selecting which one picture should I posted today, suddenly one crazy cicada trapped in my room, ping, bang, dong, ding the cicada testing it’s power against the bricks wall and also against the ceiling. I just ignored it, until few minutes later the bing bang dong ping sound gone and when I look at my left hand side the poor cicada just setting their and not moving, I felt sorry with the cicada, for the whole years leaving in the ground and when they came out just want to bang their head at the ceiling and wall. I took my tripod set it in front of the cicada, set up my camera and starting taking photo, the poor cicada just freeze and not moving at all. After finish I took the poor cicada and put it outside of my windows. Bye cicada go and test your head some other place…

Thanks for reading and viewing.

Regards
Steve

Bos,
Betul la tu towir sporting sama ko. 15 saat ekspos pun dia masih diam. Mabuk banging kapala ba tu mangkali kan. Biasa la, kalau towir, towir juga bah. Kapala batu, tapi tidak cukup tahan tukul - ada hati mo cuba kasi bucur dinding sama siling ko. Hehehe.

Nice capture my friend. You nailed the focus to its eye. You might need a smaller opening, possibly as low as f/22 (with longer exposure for sure) to get more detail in focus - since the poor cicada was really giving you TIME to shoot him.

Cuba pogi naaaanti nga ok moti', kadih kakah di memandai-mandai - sya pernah tecuba gia boi, em mau kongsi dih...

Belum lagi sampai kilimu...
Ramdan.
