Stinky Bug
« on: September 23, 2015, 20:46:22 »
A Green Stink Bug!  This one focus stacks elements of 6, but mainly 2, frames at approximately 3:1 magnification.  I'm presently returning to process the many hundreds of bug photos I took when first acquiring a D3S.  It tried to exploit the high iso capability and frame rate of the camera in order to better balance the use of flash with ambient light and get some stack-able frames using hand-held technique.

It's not the most gracious bug in the world :)

I surmise it is also not the most stinky!  Indeed these are ugly creatures, fair game for the challenge of macro, in situ, but not pretty to hang on a wall!  ;)

Handheld stacking using strobe and high ISO on live animals

Quite a different cup of tea than Michaels technique.

Can you elaborate?
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.
