5d mk III mp-e 65 mm, flash, hand held focus stack at 2:1

It's a very large worm. 95% of its body is below the image. The caruncle on the head is a bit damaged in the middle

Thanks guys Apart from some slightly nit-picky OOF tips at very top and very bottom of the animal, what disturbs me somewhat is that I don't know what angle it's at. Is the eye closer or further away than the rest? I think that comes about because it doesn't obviously conform to my eye, to the commo...

I normally post images with which I am satisfied (more or less). I put a lot of effort into this focus stacked panorama to find out that the image wasn't worth the effort at all. Looked promising when I was putting it together... but now the zoea looks quite... dead and the rostrum is out of focus. ...

Thanks guys. I can't submit my coral images to NSW - I shoot through a macro lens. Tried just for kicks olympus bioscapes, my image won a very high place, but I withdrew it due to incompatibility with rules. Contest organizers were not offended ) Participate every year.

Thank you guys!

I deliberately didn't get whole depth of field to produce a different feel. The creature is slow, but enough to test my ...

Hello, I have image series from which I make my focus stack and I am trying to generate stereo pairs. However I encountered an issue which forces me to ask a dumb question. How do I set up the software (ZS) to produce a stereo image where the top (closest part to the viewer) is not shifted (not imme...

Thanks Chris, I actually solved the problem with Celestron motor. I used two medical gloves (one for backup). So I put the motor in the glove, made a knot, then wrapped the whole thing with the second glove. Because I don't need a lot of rotation (and gloves can easily endure 3 full turns), it worke...

Thanks for your suggestions, guys, and sorry for a delayed response. I decided to go for for a stepper motor solution after trying the celestron drive. Celestron turned out to be way to fast and I wouldn't bother with building reduction gears or tweaking with its circuits. Raspberry Pi is the only w...

I actually need the specimen to rotate. Like I said, macro time lapse ) Thanks, lauriek, I might try the camalapse. The speed can't be adjusted, which is not good, but it's a start. Any other ideas welcome... I also found an affordable gadget: celestron motor drive. But so far I don't know what exac...

Hello guys, I want to introduce rotation into my time lapses and I wonder if anyone knows a cheap way to get a slow rotation stage. Degree of automation doesn't matter, I could live with just the possibility to set the rotation speed and leave maco time lapse for a few hours. But the rotation has to...

Thank you everyone for replies! Steven, I have a Canon 7d with magic lantern installed (how can somebody use a canon dslr without ml??) but its time lapse possibilities are limited and I can't find a way to do what I want. Ok, I know one way: use two cameras (the microscope allows it), but I'd like ...

Hello, I am trying to use my dSLR (canon 7d) with a microscope, but I need to make a time-lapse combining fluorescence and transmitted light. So one frame has to record DIC image, another one fluorescence. The microscope can be programmed for time lapses and it has shutters and rotating filters to m...

I found a dead crab in a marine tank and it looked pretty intact (possibly it has been dead for less than an hour). So I though that it shouldn't just lay there and decompose: http://www.microworldsphotography.com/photos/i-qKqKwx5/0/O/i-qKqKwx5.jpg http://www.microworldsphotography.com/photos/i-RnDV...

Nice one!

I tried taking pictures of nudies so many times, but never managed to get a stack. They move a lot! Was it still because it was feeding?
