Illuminated Elegance: Macro View of a Cleoniceras Ammonite
This macro captures the intricate cross-section of a Cleoniceras ammonite, illuminated to reveal the warm, glowing details of its inner chambers. Measuring 2.5 cm in height and 3 cm in width, the ammonite's delicate proportions are emphasized, showing its fossilized structure. Only the lower part of the fossil could be backlit, creating a striking contrast and emphasizing its natural geometry.
The photo was created using an HDR technique composed of two stacked images, each consisting of 40 individual exposures. To achieve this level of detail and balance, the first stack was captured with a shutter speed of two seconds, aperture of f/4.5, and ISO 100. The second stack used a slightly slower shutter speed of 1/6 seconds while maintaining the same aperture and ISO settings.
