Big fly, tiny head. I'm sure someone has studied the geometry of insect eyes. Anybody have a good reference citation to share? Let me know. Thanks.

Thanks yet again to my wife, Connie, who noticed this scene above us while I was driving.
Hmmm, somehow this doesn't rhyme, but the roses are ORANGE and not RED 😁!
Have a great Sunday and great new week my friends!

Macro stack with Helicon Focus.
Testing macro stacking with Christmas flowers. This one is with 50 photos using automatic camera focus bracketing and Helicon Focus for stacking.
I had a Olympus EM-1 Mark II for awhile and its in-camera stacking feature was awesome. However, the photos looked very bland compared to A7RV photos. So much tonality missing, couldn't keep the Olympus just for the convenient macro feature. So now I'm experimenting macro stacking with my Sony and some extra PC software.
Focus bracketing works very well here, added a 2sec wait between the shots to guarantee that the lens can keep up to pace. Started the bracketing and went to read book. When camera was ready, copied the raw files to LRC, did minor edits, synced these to all pics, exported to JPG and applied Helicon Focus on the files. Quite impressive results with minimal effort!
Sony's focus bracketing feature is very useful after all. I'll be experimenting more with this!
Had to check the Great Horned Owl nest. Never noticed the third chick hiding on the left behind the larger gray one until today... Condie, Saskatchewan,Canada. 3 May 2020

This subspecies is nearly restricted to San Luis Obispo Co. and has California Rare Plant Rank: 4.2 (limited distribution). This taxon is separated locally from the much more common Coast Morning Glory, Calystegia macrostegia subsp. cyclstegia by several characters, including its fuzzy herbage, which you may be able to detect from the gray-green color of the leaf at top left.

This was less an exercise in in lighting and more an exercise in Photoshop. Five images stacked with Photoshop's Auto Blend Layers tool.
My real take away was that I need to use something other than glass for the reflective surface. Maybe I should break down and buy a piece of black plexi...
