Metallic Beetle II
The second frame of a dew covered Metallic Beetle. This was the second field test of the new diffuser that I built for the MT-26EX RT. I have since built a second one that seems to be performing better.
Note: Possible ID: Anthaxia fulgurans
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (over 2x) + a diffused MT-26EX RT (E-TTL metering). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Denoise AI and Clarity in that order. The sharpening in Denoise AI looked really good to me so I didn't run Sharpen AI.
