Small things seen up close. Work in progress…

The spheres are fabulous. Like the way the oof ones transform into a totally different look than normal. The bright edge bokeh is cool. Please consider cross posting this in the Weekly Abstract and Creativity Thread. It fits perfectly.

Hola Bryan, it's a strange camouflage: I guess her potential prey see her differently than we do...

How colorful!

Beautiful images.
And, by the way, your Flickr is very dangerous: entering is easy, but leaving...

It's a good series, but this one is especially elegant...

Thanks a lot - that's very kind!

Impressive work - it's great to see it in its web.

Thanks, these type of images a few years ago were impossable and when it was a dream it would take all day and still not get a shot, now i can shoot 20 keepers in an hour, in fact it take twice as long for zerene to stack the images than it takes to do the whole shoot.
Gone are the days with comments ,"its frozen" or it must be "dead" now that i can shoot then in there web, I have never disclosed my set up as it took 8 years to design and develop. as soon as i do everyone will just copy it and boast how good they are, i know it pisses off a lot of phtographers off ,but you get that 😎

This is a comparrision how unique my extreme macros are, the extreme images are "immersive" real to life for a visual experience never captured before, its why i set out to create the 3d image effect from the start. id seen it done before but only from museum dead insects collections, so the chalenge was on to shoot them live.😁
these 2 images are from the same spider.

I've never seen such amazing photos of spiders in webs. The amount of in focus detail is incredible. These are like a whole new category of macro. Extreme macro indeed.

thanks,
200 to 300 image stacks to get seamless 2-3 mm dof at 4x magnifacation.

Good in flight opportunities have evaporated in an extended dry spell. So I've processed a few perched.

The same protagonist but, what so different images! Your extreme macro is shocking, but, even without so much detail, seeing it in its surroundings is truly beautiful...

Some excellent catches, Bryan...

Thank you doctor

Good catches, a lot of details!👍
