I was up early this weekend to find roosting damselflies. This is an incomplete focus stack as it was quite warm and this Banded demoiselle moved before I finished.
View large!
Flat ground beetle with greenish spots (22 mm, Carabus depressus; Coleoptera, Carabidae) found years ago in Austria (1500m, Ischgl, 7 July 1993; collection specimen).
Studio work with a dead specimen; first cleaned and rehydrated, then staged. Focus bracketing, 89 images, assembled in Zerene Stacker (Pmax & Dmap). Sony A7RM5 (crop mode), FE 2.8/90 Macro G OSS; ISO-100, f/5.6, 1/5 sec, diffused LED light.
I found this little fish--2 1/8" (5.5cm) in total length--dead on the beach just above the incoming tide. I put it in water to photograph it. Note the fins are already deteriorating.
Morro Strand State Beach, Morro Bay, California
The pattern of midshipman buttons or photophores helped me identify this little fish. Please see the adult, which is much more colorful and amazing: www.flickr.com/photos/marlinharms/14262402063/
Trotz lang anhaltender Trockenheit zeigt sich ein Gelbporiger Raufußröhrling / Despite the prolonged drought, a Saffron Bolete has appeared (Leccinellum crocipodium)
Focus stack of 36 Images.
I took this one a few months back in June at Wollaton Park, I think it had only just emerged due to the green tinging on the clypeus and labrum, also I could see things still moving under the cuticle (Not sure what it was). The strands by its legs I think might be the remains of the exuviae tracheoles. Anyway, thought this one had a cheeky face, but no idea why I left it for so long LOL :o)
This was an 11 image focus stack of what I think is a teneral Blue-tailed Damselfly. I've got a week off work coming up next week, so I'm hoping to get some serious macro work done, as long as the weather behaves :o)
Love this song at the moment

Does anyone know what plant these pieces are made of?
The width of one stalk is <2cm, they are hard and look and feel woody.
These pieces are glued on a little ball to be a decoration ball with a diameter of ~10 cm
Focus stack
The initial stack for the image of the chafer was processed using Helicon Focus 7 Methods B & C. I post-processed in PS combining what I thought were the better results from each method. I then adjusted exposure and color balance in the merged image.
In this image, I processed the stack using the new slabbing function in Zerene. The stack contained 120 images which I broke up in to sub-stacks, or slabs, of 12 images each with an overlap of 4. I stacked each slab using PMax. Zerene automates the process making it relatively easy and quick. I then stacked the slab outputs in the usually way using PMax, and post-processed the output image in PS.
I didn't spend much time cleaning up this image, so there are some stacking artifacts such as squiggly lines and halo effects.
I think I like the slabbing results from Zerene a bit better than the Helicon Focus results. I see the improvements particularly with the eyes.

Not sure what these small fungi are - trying to research. The larger one was less than 1 cm in diameter. Stack of 8 images. Happy Fungi Friday!
The closest description I can find is that these may be the orange form of Ruby Elfcups. (Sarcoscypha coccinea var. aurantiaca).
After further review - these may be Sowerbyella rhenana fungi.

Focus stack of a relatively large (around 1/2 inch long) brown bee fly liking to perch near or on the ground. It looks like Poecilanthrax alcyon, which I photographed a few years ago, but will get it checked. Condie, Saskatchewan, Canada. 5 September 2021
