28th August Paxton Macrophotography

Yesterday was our second Macrophotography Day at Paxton on a very warm humid day. Having talked about the various techniques that could be used in the field (depending on camera models, type of image wanted visually and the intended use of the image), we spent the rest of the day on the reserve finding some models for our techniques.

 Image 1 (Green bottle) is a stack of Raw images using in-camera Bracketing and stacking in Zerene stacker.

 Images 2, 3, 4, and 5 are in-camera stacks producing a jpg image (Olympus OM-D EM5iii). 

Images 6-10 are single shots with a wide depth of field (1/250 sec F14) 

 Images 11-14 are set on Procapture (1/2000th f8) hoping to capture flight!! I was particularly please with the Spiked Shieldbug as I had never recorded how the wings unfold in Hemiptera before.
