Couple of Slightly extreme macros

Lord Vetinari · January 4, 2006

Both shots taken at 3.4:1 with minimum cropping- both focus stacked from 2 shots. An aphid and a springtail approx 1.7-2mm long. (the fov was 6.5mm wide in the viewfinder)

I especially like the Aphid shot (Aphids are cute people!) with the DOF and colors......seems like the poor lil' guy is missing an antenna. Great shots!

Very nice! Great sharp detail.

Lord Vetinari · January 8, 2006

Thanks for the comments all.

Skippy- no they are not in the Aphid family- most of the springtails are tiny flatter longer things (for example those tiny white things you often see (just about) when you move a plant pot. Apparently there are about 800 species in the uk alone- think I've spotted 4 of them so far.
