AI's Wonderful World of Macro

[Adamneedsadvice]

All of your photos are absolutely amazing! Such sharpness and DOF. WOW.

You are shooting most of these freehand??!!?? Any image stacking?? How many shots per great image do you take??

Thank you kindly, Adam. No stacking. All of these are one-shot, handheld images. I love the super-depth of stacking. But I also love the mobility and freedom I get without a tripod.

I would do some at home but my wife doesnt like me putting bugs in the fridge.

I posted this in the "just for fun" section. But I thought it was still at home here.

I'm loving the macros. But am genuinely freaked out at how many spiders I saw today. The power of arachnophobia to cloud ones judgement of photography should not be underestimated.

Funny, because I hate spiders, but now that I look at them as an interesting subject to photograph, I sort of like them. This goes for these ugly robber flies - I have a collection of them, the one below is by far the prettier of the collection, it was captured yesterday evening out on our land/walk.

Sea salt.

Woah now. There's something different indeed! I like the idea of the Salt. Where is it lit from? Youve given me an idea. I'll try to find some, then post the results! Thanks for the inspiration!

Oh, and wonderful bug macros, but that goes without saying, again and again.

Thanks Mark. Lighting was from both sides via SB-r200's. Top or direct light will make everything too flat. Sugar has some really intersting crystalline shapes too.

I love macro but that just creeps me out! I might would have had to pass on that guy... Great shots!
