    Breaking down the assassination attempt photos

    It looks like the 1/18000" shutter speed still made a "long exposure" of the flying bullet. I wonder if it needs 1/100000" to freeze the bullet... I think the bullet photo will be the best "Action photo" of the year or ever...

    Breaking down the assassination attempt photos

    #3 (the bullet) amazes me for using 1/18000 shutter speed with no sign of needing it before the shot (or the photographer was expecting the action?). * But I can't really see the bullet in that photo in the video. Can anyone point to the one that shows the bullet?

    These are great, I especially like the last one (a highlight of the head). My suggestion on focus shifting: set a bigger aperture and run thinner overlap (much more images)—just my 2c.

    I was just trying to figure out (and learn) how a small aperture would affect DOF in the case of Macro or close-up images. No criticizing or negative opinion on the picture you posted. AW, some parts of the image not in focus don't always make it bad. If I unconsciously offended you, I apologize.

    That's true, but it would be a bit far away from the tiny insect where you may not even see/notice it. Surely luck is king.

    Always wonder how one would compare Macro/close-up images shot by Macro vs telephoto lens?

    You have the first image shot at f/19 and still can not cover the DOF to the wings and legs (and the nearby follower). Maybe focus stacking is the only way to do it... I often use AF-C to burst moving objects for continuously changing focus... this way I get various images of moving objects...

    I also started to work on Macro recently (not as long as you did) when I acquired the new z105. So far it's going rather slowly... other than the unavailability of good interesting subjects (don't have a nice backyard like yours), the lighting issue is the most dominant hindrance I often...

    I think you are correct that there is no actual photo editing in AB unless it is used with other editing programs (LR or PS).
