Still for Once - _TNY_2219S2

Here, my ninja sneaking skills paid off and I managed nt one, but two, shots without this green tiger beetle (Cicindela campestris) moving.

 

The shots were then baked into a single image with better depth of field using Zerene Stacker.

 

This was taken at Tyresta by ("by" means "village" in Swedish and is bronounced more like "bee") using the MP-E65mm lens at 2.4:1 magnification which means the beetle was about 55 mm (2") from the front glass when I took these shots.

 

Here's another shot from that day - with two tigers in frame at the same time: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52851431880/
