Hand Held Field Stacks
Aug 28, 2013 07:18:40 #
Back to playing with my stacking software, Zerene. I've found that shooting in the 1.5:1 to 2:1 and higher magnification the DoF is razor thin. In order to get better DoF I'm taking a sequence of photos then stacking with my software. This also allows the subjects to walk away unharmed. These critters are not chilled, frozen, drugged or killed. Unlike many studio stacks that require dead subjects.
All of these were taken in the last week. Hand Held stacks. All at F/9 ISO125 to ISO200 1/200-sec Speedlite with DIY diffuser.
No where near as nice as the studio stacks, but these guys live on and multiply.
most are 10 to 20 photos per stack

Lovely photos, very cleverly done. What lens do you use for these? Where do you find all these amazing subjects?

Amazing! Those faces are a little frightening yet beautiful in their own way. A cicada would be interesting to view close up I'd imagine.

Not only am I impressed at how good your photos look, but I'm a little envious. I just don't have the patience yet. Nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely outstanding! Your work is much better than a lot of tripod stacks that I've seen. I really enjoy viewing your work. The (I think) robber fly shots are fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you
One of the Cheapest 100mm macro lens on the market, Tokina 100mm.
I found these subjects by paying attention to the habitat I found them in, then looking for the same type of habitat. This really cuts my searching time down. As for getting close and photographing, it's all about Practice.
