Musca domestica - Fly @6x
Hey all !
Testing out some minor changes to lighting here, some further adjustments to be made in terms of adapters, ordered, and other bits and bobs.
Resolution in this one is quite good, managed 250 images to stack but decided that was enough so missed the wings at the back of him.
For stacking i used Zerene Stacker, Dmap with touching up from the Pmax image.
I used Photoshop to enhance colour of the eyes and reduced noise effective and increased sharpness by 50%.
In other news, my last image got Favorited by BBC spring watch, which was pointed out to me today, so very pleased with that indeed !
( Still trying to get something in a magazine )
Also, in other other news, i have a Prime 28mm lens for sale if anyone wants to grab one cheap. I won't be using this one anymore, so if anyone wants to give macro a go message me for details.
This one was taken with my new 28mm EF Prime lens reversed onto some extension tubes, more than usual mind...
The lighting on the eyes is exactly how i wanted it, but of course over exposed on the 'skin' of the fly, something i always try to avoid but failed once again.
In comparison with my last Fly stack, i have improved a lot so i am pleased with the overall outcome and progression i have made since Christmas.
Comment on anything you don't like about the photo, helping me to improve on little things like light, sharpness and colour of course.
(The backdrop is 2 coloured cards merged together, i might try to go further and create a rainbow effect to give an even brighter background in future images )
Be sure to view the LARGE image for all the detail :) www.flickr.com/photos/sequentialmacro/7359357326/sizes/k/...
And if you have time, visit my facebook page and give me a like as i am very near to my 100 like target :)
