I mainly see some double imaging. Does not doing mirror lockup cause that much effect? I have thought that not locking up the mirror was not that big a deal, when rapidly focus bracketing thru a live subject, but maybe I'm wrong.

Very good. I was wondering if flattened hair strands are also curly.

Excellent work!

Very nicely done!

Très intéressant ! J'ai souvent observé les entonnoirs de fourmillon chez moi et vu des larves mais j'ignorais ce que pouvait être un adulte. J'ai appris quelque chose ! Je mourrai moins bête. Merci ! Merci! Désolé, c'est peut-être une mauvaise traduction. Les adultes fourmis-lions ne vivent pas lo...

From last summer, here are male and female jumping spiders ( Phidippus clarus ). The male is in plain view, while the female is seen only as a vague outline in her silken retreat. According to BugGuide, females of this species are frequently seen hanging out at the top of plants like this. The male,...

That really is lovely! There are many flowers that are remarkably complex.

That is rather fascinating. I certainly did not know about the brush!

Update: I'm sure I see it in one of my pictures of a Chinese mantis as well.

Of course one must consider the age and resultant sharpness of the rotary heads. While razors are replaced fairly regularly.

I wonder if the bright cores are an early stage of developing grey hairs from a given hair follicle.

Excellent as always!

I was in the woods one day when I came across this striped leaf beetle ( Dirospidae sp.). I was gauging how to maybe photograph the beetle, when a predatory stink bug nymph suddenly ran up from behind and impaled it! Certain stink bugs are predatory, and I have seen them with dispatched prey that ar...

I already own the Canon EF 24-105mm zoom f/4 L Macro IS USM Lens but I am debating purchasing the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens for the 2x Macro. I want to have better clarity, resolution and of course magnification. Will the $500 price of the Laowa give me those? I shoot a lot of macro. I'm sure yo...

I do have an extremely cheap and flimsy tripod that I occasionally still use with a z-axis gear. It does the trick but its very clunky. For studio work, I usually control that axis by piling books, magazines, and paper until I get the precise height I need for either the camera or the subject. The x...

Nicely done!

These are very interesting!
