Guess what I shot?!

Ran out of ideas for today's 365.. so I did another macro.

50mm reversed on 85mm

Used a yashica 50mm reverse mounted to a Canon EOS. These buds are about 2mm in diameter.

This was my first photo of BugShot 2011! I got this within a few minutes of arriving at Shaw Nature Reserve in Gray Summit, Missouri.

Spider is saying hi to its own mirror reflection.

My second B&W macro

Old lens, new vision

Stack of 30 images. Taken with Nikon D800, Edelkrone Action Module (for stepper motor movement), and stacked in Zerene stacking software (pMax).

This screwdriver was shot for a contest.

Found Hawaiian seaglass, freshly drilled. Each bottle has a story, every shard a history.

We discovered an amazing location with lots and lots of seaglass. Our lips are sealed.

hand-held reverse macro, Nikkor AIS 28/2.0, very hard to keep focus, no reverse adapter...

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II reverse mounted on Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG APO, handheld, 2:1 magnification

2 images focus stacked using CombineZM. Natural lighting.

This tiny little guy is living in our kitchen window. He is really small, maybe 4-5mm long (the squares in the background are the holes in the window screen). It's amazing to see the detail on such a little critter. Is it weird that after staring at these guys through my viewfinder so much, I'm starting to think they're cute?? Maybe I need to give him a name...

This is a stack of 4 photos. I aligned them in PhotoShop CS5, and did the focus part manually with masks.

The bright yellow bits remind me of the bugs from Starship Troopers (awesome movie).

Apis mellifera

please look at large

I have had this fellow hanging around, waiting for me to have the time to take some photos of him. Looking at the image in small size, I am generally happy with it, but if you look at it at any size greater than 50% of the original, you will see some very clear focus banding - a real disappointment!

This is the first time that I have attempted a slightly different lighting setup - using two flashes instead of just one. One of the flashes was located above the insect, with the second underneath. Looking at this image, I think I would say that the second flash was probably too strong. It has illuminated the subject by a greater amount then the main flash. It also looks as though there is an area which is over-exposed just behind the head.

There are some imperfections in the image which I have not bothered to clear / work on, due to the fact that the image is far from perfect anyway.

This image has been taken at about 4:1, and has been made up of a stack of 20 images.

spent yesterday with the ants, tricky to capture in focus.

Reverse Macro, First real attempt.

I just realized how green my photostream is lately lol totally unplanned!
