Morning stack of a Pelargonium with a female Orchard bee (Osmia cornuta). In the greenhouse (Boom, 26th March 2024).
Studio work with a live specimen. Focus stack based on 70 images, assembled in Zerene Stacker (Pmax & Dmap). Sony A7Rm5 (cropped mode), FE 2.8/90 Macro G OSS; ISO 100, f/5.6, 1/13sec, -1.0step, all natural diffused light.
Ein kleines Glitzern auf einer Sandfläche hat mich auf diese wunderbar schillernde Wanze aufmerksam gemacht. Wer weiß die Art/ Gattung? Die Farben sind der Wahnsinn! Aufgenommen mit dem neuem Laowa 25 mm Ultra Macro. Den Testbericht gibts inzwischen auf Makrotreff!
A small glint on a sandy surface drew my attention to this wonderfully iridescent bug. Who knows the species/ genus? The colors are amazing! Taken with the new Laowa 25 mm Ultra Macro. The test report is now available on Makrotreff!
Early morning shade provides the background which allows us to see the long floral tubes. And those tubes provide the genus name from Greek, combining "slender" with "tube" or "pipe." Hard to argue with that description.

These puffballmushrooms were quite common in places. According to the field guide, it appears to be Astraeus hygrometricus, a puffball growing in sandy areas. I had only seen it in books before. Arms are open when wet and close over the spore sac when dry. Little Red River Park, Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada. 20 June 2020
Dale entered it on inaturalist and it was the first time reported West f the Great Lakes.

This is a dense, abstract composition of rounded translucent glass pieces photographed with strong transmitted light from below or behind.
That lighting makes the pieces glow like stained glass and separates the colors clearly.
Visible characteristics:
heavy use of red, cobalt blue, aqua, green, white, amber, yellow, and pale lavender
mostly rounded, softened edges
predominantly matte/frosted surfaces
a few pieces show pits, scars, and internal bubbles
the frame is packed edge to edge, so it reads more as pattern, color field, and texture than as individual specimens
Visually, it functions as both a specimen photograph and an abstract image.
Discussion
Sea glass forms when discarded glass is broken and then abraded over time by waves, sand, and salt water, which produces the softened edges and frosted surface collectors look for.
A few points relevant to this image:
The color range is unusual. Green, white, and brown are historically the most common sea glass colors, while colors such as red, yellow, orange, and some cobalt blues are treated by collectors as scarcer finds.
That does not prove rarity here. Because this is a curated pile rather than a documented beach find, the image reads more as a designed collection than evidence of naturally found rarity.
The photograph emphasizes luminosity over provenance.
Genuine beach glass is usually admired for its surf-worn history, but here the primary visual effect is the glow, color contrast, and overlapping translucent forms.
Compositionally, the image works because there is no dead space.
Large pale pieces stabilize the frame, while saturated reds and blues create visual anchors.
The amber-brown piece near center-right is especially effective because it breaks the dominant cool/red palette.
So: as an object study, this is about translucency, abrasion, color contrast, and accumulation.
In early morning along Wascan Creek West of Pasqua Street, i could see these white spots all over the grassy field. Looking through binoculars, i realized they were not new flowers, but Western White butterflies warming up before taking flight . Les Sherman Park, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. 29 August 2023

Have a nice day/night
(Going to work one evening (I work nights) I saw this four-banded longhorn (Leptura quadrifasciata) which had parked for the night on an ox-eye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare) on the lawn. Even though I was running a little late, I just had to quickly get the camera and snap a few shots, including this one. This is two exposures combined into one for increased depth of field using Zerene Stacker
Part 1 (also a two-exposure focusstack) here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/50956998736/
To not be more late than I needed I put the camera in the car instead of returning it inside, so when I got back in the morning I still had the camera with me.
This proved quite fortunate as the beetle was still on the same flower - only now covered in dew drops! A shot of how that turned out can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/50196426277/
This species is between 11 and 20 mm in length, but this one was probably a male as it was closer to the minimum size.)

Taken with a Canon 17-40mm f/4 reversed on a Canon 60D body.
It's amazing how a 10$ reverse ring adapter can improve your macro photography!

Focus stacking avec "Remote - Sony" et "B8Stack" ( 50 images en mode normal - 3 pas par image - cycle 1s ) et traitement avec "CombineZP" (mode Pyramid do stack retenu).
Sony A7M3 +Sony 90mm macro f2.8 1/50s ISO-500.
Nota: En extérieur le sujet doit être immobile, PAS DE VENT, évitez les définitions trop gourmandes , mes originaux de 24Mp (8Mo) font planter CombineZP, la bête étant partie je les ai donc recadrées en lot avec "Darktable". 10 images de plus pour l'abdomen auraient été nécessaires.
Voila ma première expérience avec cette technique.
My aperture is fixed at 2.2 on this phone. That means that in any given image, only a small portion of it will be in focus. Yesterday, using Photoshop, I focus stacked 12 images. As you can see, there are still blurry areas, and that's ok... my aim was not to get everything in focus, but more than I could with just one pic. It's not perfect. Haven't learned how to clean these things up yet. Enjoy.
Yesterday, I took a trip deep down into the Mountains of Kyoto Prefecture. A post from Jay Klaphake sparked my interest. It showed a picture of a field of Yuzen Chrysanthemum in the small village of Kuta. I've been in that area before, and I know it's pristine and beautiful.
I drove on NR 110 that runs past the Hisata River. Soon it will be the Obon holidays, and a nearby campsite was inundated with tents and campers enjoying the River. A little further is the village of Kuta and my destination. The Daiya River runs next to the tiny road, and some parents were fishing with their kids. Not so many people around, and guess what, "no masks". I suppose so deep into the countryside with no one around.
