Scorpion fly

GOLDENORFE

a few scorp pics, had real trouble with gusts of wind so stacks are not too good. and was being attacked by horseflys!
#1 is 2 frames stacked and 2 frames panorama, stitched in PTGui.
hope you like them.

Wow very cool. I had no idea such a bug existed. Where did you find this guy?Also was this shot taken at night?

Wonderful bug and wonderful shots
The pano looks like it went together well.
#2 has a focus slice missing in the middle but still works well.

i seem to see these quite often. in woodland near lakes.
was on a high tree branch so the flash only reaches the subject, hence why the background is black were flash doesnot reach. not ideal but sometimes unavoidable.

thanks BRIAN and Maxine, alot of trouble doing pano, PTGui only works on frames exactly the same dimensions, so had to re size both frames after stacking for it to work.
