Nice composition there and lovely color

Thanks. It's great that one finds compositions everywhere. This was just a small portion of a hedge that could use some trimming.

Not sure if I have posted this one before but there are too many pages to go back through! Jumping spider in my light tent, reversed 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor on a PB-6 Bellows. I put the guy in the refrigerator in a glass jar for about 30 minutes to slow him down.

At a conference in Arizona this summer, one of the field trips was to the Catalina Mountains for some desert night hiking and some "moth sheeting". It's basically a big sheet, hung in front of very bright light. It attracted hundreds of moths, but it also attracted a goodly number of predators, who came to prey on the moths. One of my favorite catches of the night is the, aptly named, White-striped Tiger Beetle - Cylindera lemniscata. Wicked fast, and only 7-8mm long, but oh my, what colors!

And the second.



After he had been dangling there for half an hour and no spider was interested, I set the poor chap free.

I just picked up a used 60mm af-d micro. These are some of the first shots with it. They're all hand held using the on board flash.
This is my first macro lens, this thing is addictive.

Macro focus stacking is pretty hard. I tried to focus stack this flower using a rail system. I need to learn more about editing my layer masks in PS to try and clean up the blurred areas.

Nice work, did you use two layers or more ?

Thanks!
The only one I know is the last one. It's some sort of jumping spider chewing on some sort of fly
