these behave much like mini-robber flies, snatching up smaller flies that inhabit my backyard. In fact its rare I find one without prey! I've always wanted to see a closeup of one, but up until now they were to difficult to get a shot of/catch.

Another stack with the same view as the last photo, though this is from a different timelapse. I did 3 timelapses of this sunset, each time adjusting for the dimming light. This one turned out better than expected. Check out the timelapse video (I also posted this link on the previous photo) www.youtube.com/watch?v=en-tmT6_C3E&feature=youtu.be

Photography information: All of the images in this database were captured with the Macropod.
The Macropod is a rigid, portable photomacrography system, which allows the user to make razor sharp, fully focused photographs of small sized specimens at 18 to 26-megapixel resolution. It overcomes the extreme Depth of Field (DOF) limitations inherent in optics designed to image smaller specimens. Normally, lenses designed for macro will only render a very small fraction of the depth of targeted specimen in sharp focus at any one exposure. The Macropod allows the user to select and make multiple exposures in precise increments along the Z-axis (depth) such that each exposure’s area of sharp focus overlaps with the previous and next exposure. These source images are then transferred to a computer and merged by an image-stacking program. Zerene Stacker is used to find and stitch together only the focused pixels from each exposure into one image. The Macropod integrates industry-leading components in a novel and elegant way to achieve these results.

Imagine life with an 8 foot tongue, dressed up as a bee, hovering like a humming bird. That's life as a Bee fly, which makes its springtime appearance in the UK during end March/early May. They have the most extraordinary proboscis which sticks out straight in front and makes them look like some "must avoid" predator; in fact they're about as harmless to humans as can be, and very flighty too. They make a buzzing noise in flight, and resemble bumblebees both in appearance and sound. Look for bee flies in sunny spots in parks, gardens, meadows and open fields, especially on slopes, and especially if you notice a bee that just seems too fast for a bee!
You can tell that they're a fly because Flies have only a single pair of functional wings, whereas bees have 2 pairs. Eyes almost touching above, especially in males - which probably makes this a boy if you look carefully. Adults generally feed on nectar and pollen, some being important pollinators, often with spectacularly long proboscises adapted to plants such as Lapeirousia species with very long, narrow floral tubes. While the Bombyliidae include a large number of species in great variety, most species do not often appear in abundance, and for its size this is one of the most poorly known families of insects. There are at least 4,500 described species, and certainly thousands yet to be described.
Technical: the challenge here was to find some way to show off this fella's proboscis, which I found hard! Took me 4(!) attempts to get even half right I'm ashamed to say. The first was a disaster because the very long proboscis gave me all sorts of perspective errors, the second was at the wrong angle, the third was better but the background came out a ghastly orange rather than brown, and this is the 4th. The issue for me was really the problem of getting the right background that would accomodate both its white mane (which needs a dar background to really show well) and its dark proboscis (which needed the opposite, a light background, argh). I tried it first with a Componon 80 but that was the perspective disaster; this is an elnikkor50 f/2.8 reversed which did ok but maybe I've become to used to the super resolution of microscope objectives that this lens now disappoints me! Weird. Other than that 3 flashes with tissue paper diffusion, one either side and one on the bottom, stack of 160 shots.

Here is my first attempted at focus stacking this was taken with 13 photos and I still missed the front petals!! (still learning ) but I like the look. Love how you can get the detail and keep the bokeh, excellent!
Files are big 1.7GB!! I have a laptop i5 4gen with 8gb ram but still it had to work!
If you have Adobe Lightroom with Photoshop CC then this excellent video will show you a really easy way to do focus stacking

Many thanks to everyone who chooses to leave a comment or who adds one of my images to their favorites, its much appreciated. Regards Craig

Not the usual view of one of these fellows, clearly shows its stylet mouthparts it uses to suck sap from trees

The Macropod is a 3D, rigid, portable photomacrography system that is paired with the Canon 6D, MP-E 65 mm 1-5x or 100 mm lenses.
Images between 7.5x and 50x magnifications are achieved by replacing the MP-E 65 MM 1-5x (and various ext. tubes) with a Nikon BD Plan 40 Objective, chipped adapter and series of M42 extension tubes and adapters.

Antilles pinktoe tarantula. Studio setting. Dead Specimen. Please excuse the dust! A prized tarantula for any collector, this species has bright blue coloration as young spiderlings, slowly transforming over a series of molts into bright green carapaces, with purple, black, pink and reds over it's body and legs. A New World tarantula, it has uriticating hairs on it's abdomen, which are used to deter threats.
... y así el día llega a su fin y pronto todo volverá a empezar, como un reinicio, pero con la ilusión de que habrá algo diferente, porque todo tiene un ciclo y los finales son necesarios para nuevos y mejores comienzos. Fue un gran día lleno de valiosas enseñanzas, intensas emociones y momentos maravillosos, pero mañana una nueva aventura aguada, donde habrá nuevos lugares que explorar y experiencias que vivir, todo en la búsqueda incansable de esa luz que tanto anhelo...

Looking the opposite direction of the previous photo I posted was the city of Calgary.
Not knowing that the sunset would fizzle out early, I started the timelapse a little overexposed, as I usually do for sunsets, to try and get a good exposure for the "sweet spot" when the reds start to appear. So I had to go a little heavier on the post processing, to try and bring out the details of the slightly washed out sky. (Thank Ra for RAW!... Feel free to replace "Ra" with any god you like)
After spending a lot of time processing this, I went even further with a second version, which was actually the original plan when I started shooting this timelapse. I'll post that one next.
I made this image by combining 439 photos with the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop, automated with this script, advancedstacker.com. I also took out the cars because they looked messy, and they really took away from the intended focal point, the cityscape and the sky above it.
