Intended for Macro Mondays Cutter
First macro attempt with my small camera - Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS70. Incredibly easy.
I bought it as a lightweight, pocketable, travel or "wandering about" camera. Hadn't even realized how handy it would be for handheld macros.
Looks like my cuticle nippers could use sharpening.
Crazy Tuesday theme: Chocolate 😊
Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
For the Macro Mondays theme, "zig-zag".
Strobist Info:
Speedlites camera left and right (430-EXII and 580-EXII respectively); blue gel on left, red gel on right; triggered via Calumet RF triggers.
The bulk package of plastic string for my trimmer comes with a cutter blade in a plastic holder.
Roughly 1:1 reproduction ratio. The outside dimension of the cutter cutter is approximately 25mm/1"
I was really surprised to find a female Leaf Cutter Bee foraging for pollen on a Dandelion in late October (2021). I thought they would have been long gone for the year.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F13, 1/200, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to 2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT, E-TTL metering, -2/3 FEC. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Sharpen AI and Clarity in that order.
Here is a shot of my coworker cutting some metal using a plasma cutter. I took this a while back when I had brought the camera to work. I was looking through some old stuff and thought this one had some potential for a nice gritty HDR.
An early morning out at the lake and I found this fellow perched nicely for me to play around with macro.

Sandafell is like a ship’s prow cutting through the mist, except the mist moves rather than the mountain
A study of the nail clipper. A humble but effective and classic engineering design.

Notice the many golf-ball sized divots in the body of this elephant seal. These were caused by the terrifying cookie-cutter shark, the existence of which I would have preferred to remain ignorant. Elephant seal mother and nursing pup, Piedras Blancas, California.
This male Leaf Cutter Bee (Megachile sp) was only in my Lavender for a few days, so I tried to get a lot of different compositions.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (over 3x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the fill for this shot), E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC, second curtain sync). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. I'm holding on to the Lavender stem with my left hand, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep the scene steady.
Blade to clean the ceramic glass cooktop. The handle suffered a bit due to the heat from the hotplate.
Here's the famous "Eaf" cutter bee sealing her egg in a bamboo stem.
Hopefully this pupae will hatch next year to start the cycle all over again. (That rhymes !)
I found this Leaf Cutter Bee early in the morning, covered in pollen, and the dew had slowed its metabolism down. While photographing it the critter woke up and started "chattering" -rapidly opening and closing its mandibles. It looks intimidating, but it's not trying to bite but simply trying to get its blood pumping. Kinda like when we get cold and shiver.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to 4x) + 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.
