You need to do a sequence of it, or a close friend, shot like the first one, 
slowly rotting over time. If that doesn't give people nightmares, just reverse 
the sequence so it comes back to life.

Re: PESO - Same wing, different lace

2016-05-01 Thread Mark C 
Nice! I like this one much more than the first. As Paul said the antenna 
touching the edge of the image is a distraction, but it is very 
difficult to determine how the final image will stack up. (Couldn't 
resist). The framing is somewhat different if you make the stacks by 
adjusting the lens's focus compared to if you use a focusing rail. 
Zerene has some comments on that on their website. From what I can tell 
you got a lot of depth of field in the antenna though and I don't see 
any banding or soft spots.


Just in case you have not stumbled on it, Johan J Ingles-Le Nobel 's 
site, http://extreme-macro.co.uk/, is a great resource on all aspects of 
studio stacked macros. An added bonus is that he is a Pentax user so 
many of his equipment reviews and tips are relevant.


Regarding the crud on the bug - I use pair of drug store reading glasses 
plus a set of clip on loups to get to to get to something like +6 or +8 
magnification. I'm nearsighted (-7) and use the loups without contacts 
or corrective glasses. I guess that's +15 or so magnification. I still 
can't see all the fibers and specs on the bug but with the loupes plus 
some small hobbyist paint brushes you can clean up bugs fairly well.


There are also techniques for relaxing the legs etc on dead insects, 
which I have not delved into but which are covered in Johan's site.

It's the same insect as yesterday's PESO. Now it's very visibly dead, 
with grit accumulating on its eyes.


Testing two light sources this time.

I'm happier with this result than the previous one, but I'd love to 
read your opinion.

Re: PESO - Same wing, different lace

2016-05-01 Thread Jostein 

Yeah so do I, Paul. :-)
I composed the image at the closest focusing point. The antenna was just 
about that distance. As the focus point progressed backwards, the 
antenna moved closer and closer to the edge. So that's another lesson 
learned, to keep more space around the subject...


Thanks,
Jostein
