Green Metallic Beetle
Hi guys !
Not over happy with this image, but, it was a hard subject having said that.
Found this beautiful Beetle in Ireland on my travels and managed to get him back in a healthy state for a stack.
Came across some issues, lighting mainly, but I ignored this and carried on. Doesn't seem like the head in the sand method of things worked out this time, but It was too warm to try again, so this will do for now :P
Insight -
5x Nikon M PLAN, pushed to 6x !
2x LED Lamps
Backlight and cardboard
Bellows, extension tubes
Canon 550d
Stacked in Zerene and post process in photoshop+photomatix :)
Hope it's not too bright to look at :) Try not to blink for 10 seconds and you beat my record anyway !
Keep well and enjoy the weather all.
