Here's the same beetle as yesterday, but this time it's mostly backlit to show the beetle's transparency. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #bbcwildlifemagazine #photooftheday #instagood #naturebrilliance #natgeoimagecollection #artofvisuals #amazingphotohunter #earth_shotz #usaprimeshot #naturfotografie #ignature #nature_captures #photography #picoftheday #travelphotography #wanderlust #geoexplore #roamtheplanet #nomads #photowalk #natgeoyourshot #redditphotography #macro #insect #beetle #transparent #backlight https://www.instagram.com/p/CK1JeCcHgjn/?igshid=1i2nd7qbpsdob

Violin Beetle native to Malaysia and Thailand This is a pretty large, but surprisingly flat beetle. See yesterday's post for an idea of the size of this one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #bbcwildlifemagazine #photooftheday #instagood #naturebrilliance #natgeoimagecollection #artofvisuals #amazingphotohunter #earth_shotz #usaprimeshot #naturfotografie #ignature #nature_captures #photography #picoftheday #travelphotography #wanderlust #geoexplore #roamtheplanet #nomads #photowalk #natgeoyourshot #redditphotography #macro #insect #beetle https://www.instagram.com/p/CKyjjg2HerS/?igshid=cu2qnkmf12ll

Say hello to the not-so-micro subject of my next macro photo, a violin beetle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #bbcwildlifemagazine #photooftheday #instagood #naturebrilliance #natgeoimagecollection #artofvisuals #amazingphotohunter #earth_shotz #usaprimeshot #naturfotografie #ignature #nature_captures #photography #picoftheday #travelphotography #wanderlust #geoexplore #roamtheplanet #nomads #photowalk #natgeoyourshot #redditphotography #insect #beetle #macro #violin https://www.instagram.com/p/CKv2ALWnMMk/?igshid=ri56jd1u209h

Finally finished a complete macro panorama of this green leaf beetle! I'm so friggin' stoked at how well this turned out!! It took around 3000 images to assemble this finished shot. The full-size Photoshop file is 3.6 gigabytes! Took a lot of learning from mistakes to get to this point, but I'm so glad I stuck with it. I've got a few more preserved insects (thanks, Buh!) that I'm super excited to start on now! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #bbcwildlifemagazine #photooftheday #instagood #naturebrilliance #natgeoimagecollection #artofvisuals #amazingphotohunter #earth_shotz #usaprimeshot #naturfotografie #ignature #nature_captures #photography #picoftheday #travelphotography #wanderlust #geoexplore #roamtheplanet #nomads #photowalk #natgeoyourshot #redditphotography #macro #beetle #insect #reflection https://www.instagram.com/p/CKOh9ADHAbp/?igshid=2qjpmd4omyaz

I've been building a macro platform a little at a time for the past few months and it's finally nearly done! The primary goal is a stable platform for the subject, camera, and lighting to minimize shaking/vibrations. When taking photos at high magnification the vibration of someone walking by can cause motion blurr in photos. Things really need to be solid. The second goal was for it to be compact enough to be usable on the RV once we get back on the road. One of the biggest struggles was getting good lighting on tiny subjects, but I think I've finally got that solved. In the photo you can see that I'm using a 4x microscope objective lens. Attached to the lens is an extra-large ping-pong ball. The subject is held inside the ball and I hit it top and bottom with a couple of flashes which gives me 360 degrees of smooth, diffuse light. I've included my first test shot as well - a focus stack of 78 images. I've got a diffusion issue making things look a little soft, but the lighting is exactly what I was looking for. Metallic beetles are gonna look awesome! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #bbcwildlifemagazine #photooftheday #instagood #naturebrilliance #natgeoimagecollection #artofvisuals #amazingphotohunter #earth_shotz #usaprimeshot #naturfotografie #ignature #nature_captures #photography #picoftheday #travelphotography #wanderlust #geoexplore #roamtheplanet #nomads #photowalk #natgeoyourshot #redditphotography #macro #macrophotography #diy https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ8druInOgu/?igshid=shk67raqhty2
