Yes, Stuey, I think it may well be!

Just come back after supper...
& it's wandered off!

Oh well, there'll be another one along in a minute!

Thanks for the help, everyone.

Appreciated.

Roger.

Thanks, all.

Diffraction it is, then!

This, at f5.6, single shot.
Has to be focus-stack!







This creature, sadly, has been injured. The yellow staining is its blood, I believe.


Thanks for your pointing me in the right direction, Combine ZP, here I come.....!

Snapped this just a while ago & am disappointed with the sharpness of the image.

Set-up was:
K5, 100mm D FA Macro, iso 160.

Pentax Auto Bellows M, 150mm extension.

Lens stopped-down with double cable release to f22.

Pentax AF 080c ring light.

Focus using bellows stage, then the lens' focus ring in live view, very carefully!

Slightly cropped in PSE11, levels adj., sharpened.

Shot in JPEG, I can download the original out-of-camera, if it would help.










Your thoughts on where I've gone wrong / could improve would be appreciated!

Roger.

Hi, am interested in the ring flash. could we see some pics please?

Roger.

Some of my images on Gallery carry no exif info, those being when I've used NeatImage noise reduction software (the free version). This is made clear every time I start NI up as a note on the opening screen. I try to remember to write in the exif details for that image on my post, apologies for when I forget!

I've been asked by a friend to recommend a photo magazine, he wants to give his son-in-law a subscription as a gift.

I haven't taken a mag recently, does anyone have any thoughts, either con or pro?

Thanks in anticipation.

Roger.

Thank you both.

Roger.
