Guess who's back? (Giraffe weevil)
Hi gang,
my last post was entitled "a stack for goodbye", so this one may be considered "a stack for hello" In spite of my disappointment with some details, this is a site where I learned a lot over the years, so without further ado... I'd like to share with you one of my latest work, a stack of this fascinating insect, endemic to Madagascar - Giraffe weevil (Trachelophorus giraffa). Its extended neck is an adaptation that assists in nest building and fighting.
Cheers!

Thanks all! Nope, the specimen is dead, although I tried to make it look as "natural" as possible (I always try, don't always succeed), it seems that in this case I succeeded though, as several people have asked me if the bug is alive It is a studio stack, I used my cheap but good enough for me Fuji X-M1 and a lens I'm currently testing - a JML 81/4. The lighting consists of 3 Ikea LED Lamps + DIY difuser.
My neck is ok, Mike, thank you

Thanks g4lab, it is yet another mysterious lens I bought impulsively, lol. There is no "mount", the lens came in a sort of plate, I have no idea what this lens was intended for, some kind of industrial application... The aperture is f/4 fixed, but I've stopped it down and it performs significantly better in terms of contrast and definition. It's really not very stunning lens, usable would be the right word.g4lab wrote:What an amazing looking insect. Nicely done.
Tell us about the lens and its mounting too.

Thanks all
@abpho: Yep, that's me. Thanks, though. Some people have a bad habit to "borrow" pictures for their ads...

Magnífica esa jirafa de Madagascar. Macrero.
Vaya, ahora me entero por este hilo de que estás vendiendo un JML 80mm f4 en ebay a muy buen precio. Si me hubiera enterado antes... creo que no me habría comprado el Rodenstock Rodagon 105mm f5,6. Creo que me habría quedado con ese JML.
Ya sabes... para otra vez nos pones una nota en macros muy macros o en el mercadillo de ya sabes donde.
saludos!!
