Underside of bug
Jul 24, 2017 16:41:51 #
I offer the accompanying macro with the trepidation of a newbie to UHH who is unfamiliar with what is acceptable and what is in poor taste. What we have here is the underside of a tiny bug about 10mm long, clinging to a normal household window screen. It is presented certainly not for its scientific or artistic merit, but only because, well, because it is different. It is a handheld shot, using a Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 bridge camera, lens at f:8 with a Raynox macroscopic #250 lens and the onboard strobe.

It is there, but I guess I should not have bothered. I'll try to do better next time. How do you remove a posted picture?

You should see some of my postings, the circuit board was not well received.

When I first started submitting photos to the macro section I soon realized my photos were not of the caliber that SOME of the posters are used to seeing/taking. But with practice I can usually submit photos that are well received.
I don't see any bug there but that doesn't mean you didn't. Leave the photo where it is and keep practicing. If nothing else you have a great photo of your screen. You will learn to, "see", better and to take better photos. Check out the set ups that others use on the macro forum. A good flash diffuser makes lots of difference as does technique.

Thanks Dennis. I was really surprised by the picture after taking it. There was a bug, and I thought an "underside" shot would be something different and even amusing, but what came out was a mess, pure and simple. I am ashamed for posting it though, as it does not speak well for the many years I have in photography -- ten as a photojournalist on a 110,000 circulation daily newspaper, three as photo editor of that paper, and then 12 years as a wedding photographer with more than 500 taken, both still and video. But it's never too late to learn a lesson. (And I do have a flash diffuser. Ha!)

Sounds like you are all set then. Everybody, I think, takes a photo that just doesn't turn out like we want. I think it goes under the classification of, I am not perfect YET. I look forward to other submissions.There was a bug, and I thought an "underside" shot would be something different and even amusing, but what came out was a mess, pure and simple.

At such high magnification, and at f/8, the Depth of Field is extremely narrow. Your screen is in focus, but very little of the critter is in that narrow DoF.
