PaulIddon Cream of the Crop  More info Post edited 8 months ago by Paul Iddon. | Oct 20, 2021 18:47 | #6151 Tonight it is cold, wet, and a bit too breezy. A quick midnight look in the garden finds only young aphids, loads of hard-as-nails woodlice, and the odd elongate springtail.    Paul. My site: http://www.pauliddon.co.uk

Just about 2mm long, so a fair crop even at 2:1 on the lens... Paul. Very neat, especially with the water drops. Canon R5, Canon 90D, assorted Canon lenses, Sony RX100

It looks like art, and I think that it is what macro as a discipline needs more of. FWIW, coming from me*, well done! My Gallery

So true. Not much natural light @ 2x, even midday. I almost always use artificial flash/light.

I took this shot by focusing on the critter's mouth parts and then twisted my wrist (the one holding the camera) to push the area of acceptable focus deeper into the top of the frame.

Image taken in Lago Patria, Italy in September of 2021. Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F14, 1/200, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to almost 3x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the key), E-TTL metering, -1 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Sharpen AI and Clarity in that order. Mantis Portrait IV by John Kimbler, on FlickrExcellent portrait of my favorite bug. You held a lot of detail for f/14. Canon R5, Canon 90D, assorted Canon lenses, Sony RX100

I was bracing myself on the same area that the critter was on, and the quality of my light helps to bring out the textures in it. My Gallery
