46 Frame Stack of Sexton Beetle

It certainly works.
It must be a very patient beetle to pose for that many photo's.

I'm guessing you must use some sort of burst rate to take all those.

I must make clear it's not my shot! Also the beetle wasn't alive when the shots were taken so a good still subject!

Great Shot(s) acherontia

Would love to see more of these, maybe you can make your own insect identification book!

Not my shots! It's one of my OH's - he's the one with the Nikon and specialist equipment like bellows etc. I tend to photograph outside Macros when doing wildlife. I only shoot indoors/studio on other subjects.

This was the first he did - since then he's been specializing in this area with some more difficult and detailed shots like small flies. It's resulted in us both upgrading our pooters to bigger imacs to cope with the large files and ridiculous amounts of stacking LOL That way, if necessary, we can have 2 pooters on the go that are faster than the old mac. My old PC even struggled with 3 image HDRs !
The finished images are cleaned and fine tuned using his artistic skills (he's a trained artist as well as in his last year of a whildlife photographic degree) and in conjunction with a new wacom graphics tablet.
In the end they will stand up to scrutiny at around 1000% - it's quite incredible what he does and they will probably (fingers crossed) end up with the OSF (Oxford Scientific).
Putting them on the web doesn't really do them justice but I'll ask him for another if anyone's interested?

Yes please!

His Images blow me away Really get to see detail you could never see with naked eye (or my photography)
