Eciton Hamatum, the "Mammoth" !!!

Nicolas Reusens©



After so much time trying to find this specimen I had to do something special...This is a 60 pictures stack that required almost 15 minutes for placing her, around 20 more for the stacking, 10 more for the software to finish the processing of the images, and around 2 hours of Photoshop retouching up to the hair level details!

Hope you like it, for me it will always be a really special capture, and an unforgettable encounter in the jungle ;)

Despues de invertir tantísimo tiempo intentando encontrar a ésta pequeña pero a la vez monstruosa hormiga por la selva, tenía que hacer algo especial...Esta toma es el resultado de un apilado de 60 imágenes, que requirío de 15 minutos para la colocación precisa de la hormiga, unos 20 mas para el apilado a mano, 10 mas para que finalizara el software de apilado con el proceso, unos 15 mas para la edición dentro del mismo software, y finalmente unas 2 horas mas de procesado desde photoshop hasta un nivel de detalle mínimo entre los pelos de mi amiga... ;)

Espero sea de vuestro agrado, para mí siempre será una toma especial y un encuentro innolvidable en la selva panameña! :)

Amazing stack, particularly considering the incredibly active nature of ants. How on earth did you manage to keep the specimen stlll enough to capture 60 incremental shots? Welcome to the forum and I look forward to seeing more of your work.
