Winged Aphid

[Chris Wolfgram]

Shot with my Canon R7 + RF 100 macro, and two 35mm extension tubes. Very little cropping needed.
The first is better IQ, but I like where the two juveniles had snuck in underneath the adult in the second shot





Admin edit: order swapped

Those are really cool! It looks like the image order is swapped vs. your description, with juveniles in the first image and I also like that shot better. Are these stacked or single exposures, and what is the plant they're sitting on?

[Chris Wolfgram]

Thank you Yes ! Doh ! I hate it when that happens.... but that shows you were paying attention lol

Stacked. I probably took way more images than I needed to. I think like 60 or 100. But i need to go back and try processing them again with Helicon and Zerene also, using only the images from the stacks that were actually needed.

Very nice! I like how the black background favors getting iridescent wings.
