Encontrei essa pequena mosca soldado de pouco mais de 10mm repousando em um galho seco praticamente imóvel o que favoreceu a utilização da técnica de empilhamento de foco em campo (field stacking).
Foram feitas 25 fotografias com iluminação mista (natural+flash) e combinadas posteriormente com o programa Combine ZP.

A focus stack from 51 images. It's a species of Leaf-footed bugs and it's also known as Pine seed bug.

A native plant, Oeothera elata subsp. hookeri, growing in the yard, after a night of intense fog-drip,
Morro Bay, California
These flowers are open only about one day.
Just playing with some focus-stacked macro shots of plants and flowers here. Incredible amounts of detail in some these - if nothing else, it was fun experimenting bit with these and my home-made backgrounds and window light.

It rained a bit, leaving our Alstoemeria (Peruvian Lily) plant with some interesting views. This is a close-up, part of a petal and two anthers (yellow) at top. (Alstroemeria "Inca Sweety")
This photo won first place in the Flora category of the (San Luis Obispo) New Times photo contest this past week (June, 2025).
Found this little critter in my backyard just as I was about to leave to go to the Botanic Gardens for my usual Saturday morning bug hunt.
It'd have to be the driest I've ever seen one of these I think :P
A lot more yellow in this one too.
Focus stacked using Zerene.
For Macro Mondays' "A Spoonful" theme. I was going to use hex nuts, but several people beat me to it, so went with an older technology.

A classic “stellar dendrite” snowflake – always a crowd-pleaser! But the real treasure here isn’t the snowflake itself, but the camera gear used to photograph it. This was shot with a Micro Four Thirds camera and a standard macro lens. Nothing exotic, nothing extreme; camera gear you may already have!
I often push the limits of what cameras can capture, right up to the resolving limits introduced through diffraction. At a certain point, no matter how expensive or advanced your camera equipment, you can go no further. However, such equipment can be intimidating to people that want to casually explore a subject. For this snowflake, I used the Lumix GX9 and the Leica 45mm F/2.8 macro lens. The Panasonic 30mm macro or the Olympus 60mm macro would have had comparable results. The Lumix GX9 is an excellent tiny travel camera!
I’ve long suggested that the Micro Four Thirds system is great for macro photography, as you have a perceived magnification increase when you compare the field of view of cameras with larger full-frame sensors. A 1:1 macro lens on full-frame camera would “feel” like a 2:1 (2x) macro lens at the closest focusing distance – which is a huge advantage for subjects like snowflakes. Ideally, you’d want to have at least 2x-3x magnification with larger sensors, sometimes much more than this.
The Leica 45mm macro (Panasonic Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm f/2.8 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S. Lens) is a very decent macro lens that I happen to have had handy at the time of this shooting. However, if there was a lens I’d recommend people buy for snowflake photography on the m4/3 platform, hands down it’s the Laowa 50mm F/2.8 macro: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1585695-REG/venus_optics_v... . Less expensive than most macro lenses, good quality glass, manual focus only but with the ability to shoot 2:1 magnification, you can get the equivalent of 4x on larger sensors. Perfect for snowflakes!
The photos are not just taken with a camera and a lens, but also a ring flash. The best on the market is also far from the most expensive. I always use the Yongnuo YN-14EX II: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1462725-REG/yongnuo_yn_14e... . It’s designed to work with Canon TTL, but I just use it on my Lumix cameras in manual mode. Works perfectly that way (though they also make a native Sony version, manual exposure is ideal for snowflakes).
Are there some limitations? Sure. The GX9 as a small buffer, so only a few dozen images can be captured before you have to wait a while. The resolution of the camera is only 20MP, but for most of my career that was the range I was completely comfortable with. I would argue that there is also an advantage in having a larger camera body for certain subjects, as the extra heft can aid in stability. But the question is: can you photograph a snowflake with extreme detail with a smaller “every-day” camera setup? Yes.

Thank you shadowshador for the identification
On a dead limb,
Los Osos Oaks Reserve,
San Luis Obispo Co., California
My local expert suggested the species name.
After a day of extreme heat, a few storm it was nice to get into the (cooler) breeze and try out qdslrdashboard. Might be a handy tool.
Purple flower, lost half its petals. Now looking like the wings of a butterfly...
