Side Stepping Beach Creature

This is one little guy, perhaps an inch (25mm) foot to foot the long way. Another beach comber found it and we had to look too!

The secret is to have your camera on macro setting, to put the center focus thingy right on what you want to focus, press the shutter halfway down, then move the camera around so that what you want to focus on is not dead center, probably. Press the shutter all the way in AFTER composing and you'll be amazed at how cool it can look. Hope this helps.

Andree said...: It is odd how they walk. You would think it took extra energy and would be inefficient. Great photo!
