The other day when cleaning up my garage I came across this dead Mexican bean beetle. Had this stored in a ziploc bag for a macro capture and had this shot using my Nikkor 60mm macro for today’s post. Earlier I tried capturing this with reverse mount BR-2A/28mm prime but didn’t workout very well.
See the look of anxiety on teddies face. I'm guessing he is somewhat apprehensive about sitting on the back of a horse. A macro capture of a miniature rocking horse ornament that sits on a corner shelf in our lounge.
High speed macro capture of black paint poured into a fish bowl of water.
Despite the quality of these shots the set-up was a pretty haphazard affair: my friend poured a cup full of black water based paint into the fish bowl. I had previously lined up my camera to a specific area using a pencil dipped in the water in front of the lens but there was no guarantee what area the paint would fall in. I just had to point out to my friend the general are he had to 'aim' for.
On top of all that, the actual pouring had to be done in near darkness in order to capture the ink flow completely with my external flash gun (which i had propped between a half closed drawer approx. 10cm away from the surface of the bowl).
Because of how close the flash was to the bowl, the bottom half of the original image suffered from extreme glare and overexposure so this had to be cropped out (you can just make out some scratches at the bottom of the image).
Overall though, I am quite happy with the outcome and with a bit more time on my hands I know I can design a more efficient set-up.
Special thanks go to Alberto Seveso for inspiration.
Стрекоза обыкновенная (лат. Sympetrum vulgatum) является типичным представителем многочисленного семейства настоящих стрекоз (лат. Libellulidae). Окраска насекомых может быть желтой, бурой или красноватой и изменяется с возрастом. Размах крыльев может достигать 6 см. Цвет является четким показателем половой принадлежности: на фото самка, самцы же окрашены в красный цвет с чёрными широкими полосками. Относятся к подотряду разнокрылых стрекоз. Характерной особенностью таких стрекоз является перпендикулярное расположение крыльев в состоянии покоя и различие в их размере (передние крылья стрекозы гораздо больше задних).
Well with this one I wanted a unique angle with the shot and the touch ups I wanted to just make the feathers more vibrant and more sharp in some areas without changing too much of the shot.
