Jesper Lassen
Bee
This is the first stack of the indoor season this year.
It's a bee I have kept in the freezer since autumn where I found it dead. The reason for the rather dramatic composition is quite prosaic: During the cleaning I accidentily broke off the left antenna with the brush I use and since I wanted a portrait, this was the only way.
Studio stacking is not something I have done a lot of, but with a long cold winter ahead, I'm sure there will be more to come.
This was done in a horizontal setup with the bellows at minimum extension, about 35mm, plus an additional 12 mm of adapter. The bee was lid by two IKEA Jansjö LED lamps which were diffused by one layer of ordinary copy paper.
50 exposures stacked in Zerene Stacker, PMAX and DMAP.
f/4, 1/2 sec, ISO200, ca. 2.4:1
