Extreme macro of an ant (Myrmica cf. rubra, Hymenoptera; Latvia, August 2014).
Studio stack of 210 images (steps of 3 µm using StackShot), assembled in Zerene Stacker (Dmap & Pmax). Sony A7R3 + adapter + Canon FD bellows + Rodenstock Apo-Gerogon 240/9 (tube lens) + Mitutoyo planapo 10x; ISO-100, 1/160 sec, 1 diffused flash.
Late summer bank hol fun fair on London's Hamsptead Heath. Its victims are standing in cages on the inside edge of the wheel. See also.
Added to Cream of the Crop as my most favourited (and most interesting).
Voted as "saveme" (from the Delete me! group). Hooray! A flickr ambition achieved.
There are several bizarre geological formations spreading over a mile or so (0.85 mile / 1.36 km) near the village Mikrovalto, Kozanē County, west Macedonia, Greece. It took the formations thousands of years to be created mainly by corrosion of the surrounding ground, according to geology experts. Every single formation resembles a chimney (colloquially aka “boucharí”), so the entire area or geological park has got the toponym “Bouchária” (plural form of the bouchari word).
The formations look like pillars or columns with a height of 7–20 ft (2-6 m) approximately. They consist of a mixture of sand and clay etc. adhered together by ferrous oxides and silicon dioxide. There are slates (or slabs of schist) capping the high pillars.
Within the same park there are also “nochtária,” looking like numerous confluent pyramids. The nochtaria lack schist caps, but otherwise their composition is the same as the Boucharia’s.
Warning: The phallus-shaped Bouchtaria have long been connected with the occult and several superstitions discouraging the local inhabitants from approaching them at night; tradition has it that the formations are fairies’ or even demons’ quarters or dwellings! Please mind your steps whilst walking the well-worn path!

I can’t get enough of this contrast, it’s unbelievable! The difference between light and shade is literally night and day! I hope this unedited RAW file gives some idea of how extreme this contrast really is. This photo was taken just after 11am, so the sun’s still got a bit more strength to come.

Captured last night with quite a bit of moonlight. Not much of a problem with my new Optolong L-eXtreme filter purchased from @teleskop_service

I saw his young lady ziplining across a vast canyon in Hidalgo, Mexico and caught her as she shot past me at sunset
still experimenting motion and panning captures with my kids... for this one, I was laying down under the swing... other parents in the kid park had rather strange looks to me... :D
As much as I photograph this neon, I needed a new view. 😍
And that Oly 45mm/1.8. *sigh* Such an amazing piece of glass.

For August, this is very high water flow there at Muddy Creek Falls in western Maryland. This fist evening there at the park I was only able to take this composition, as there was a strong breeze coming down the falls and mist was everywhere below making any shots impossible ... the lens would be misted over in less then a second. It's s shame as the late evening lighting there in Swallow Falls State Park was great.

The foliage of Yellowstone hadn't greened up yet but there was no lack of color! Norris Geyser Basin was full of greens, yellows, and reds. Click here to read the information sign about the thermophiles that produce this color.

Here I am again posting more photos when I never know how much time I will have to comment because of my nerve problem. Sorry about that my friends. I'm just trying to post as many of my archive photos as possible before I start taking new pictures. Please don't feel the need to comment on these. Thanks for everything! Have a nice weekend and blessed Easter. Those that have the Easter Bunny coming to their house don't eat too much candy all at once.
Uncropped
Multi exposure looking up to the sky through the autumn trees - but with a hard colour blend in Affinity Photo.
A second species given the extreme close up treatment, this is Oniscus asellus or the Common Shiny Woodlouse. This is one of the 35 native UK species and is one of the "UK Big 5", the big 5 is made up of the following :-
Oniscus asellus (the common shiny woodlouse)
Porcellio scaber (the common rough woodlouse)
Philoscia muscorum (the common striped woodlouse)
Trichoniscus pusillus (the common pygmy woodlouse)
Armadillidium vulgare (the common pill bug)
So anyway, this is a 25 image handheld focus stack using my MP-E at full magnification on a 1,4x teleconverter and 72mm of extension tubes, using an F/5.6 aperture, 1/125 shutter speed and ISO 320.
Well I had just finished writing this up for a first time and was thwarted by a bad, bad Panda, not impressed, so here I go again LOL ;o)
