seravid posted:Nice details overall, but you should diffuse the twin to kill the hotspots and make the light more even I've got the standard sto-fen ones on there, though they don't seem to make a ton of difference. That was also the first time I had taken some macro shots in a while and for some reason forgot about FEC. Couple more:

Was too cold for bugs so here's some not-bugs.

  In hindsight shaking trees and getting myself covered in pollen wasn't the best idea.

Got bored and started shooting stuff I have sitting around.

seravid posted:Neat. Would you mind specifying what sort of stuff you shot? First four are polished sections of rock, the first backlit by UV, the others by white LEDs. Then a bubble in a bottle of aloe vera gel. Bear claw lit by UV. More rocks: rutile in quartz, chrysocolla (I think), fluorite.

spongepuppy posted:The minerals would be interesting to shoot with polarized light - although that's kind of my bag at the moment. Are you using UV LEDs as your light source? Yeah just a cheap flashlight with a UV mode. I don't know the wavelength or how ultra it really is, but it's got a lot of visible light in there and looks very purple.

Some more rocks, this time lit with a shortwave 254nm UV bulb. Calcite has a huge variety of fluorescent colors depending on other elements present in the rock. Some varieties exhibit phosphorescence where they will glow for a few seconds after removing the light source.      Tried shooting with a UV filter to make sure I was just getting the visible portion of the spectrum but noticed no difference. I guess those really don't matter with digital.

Two of these aren't really macro but they're focus stacked so I guess this is the place. Not sure why kiwano melons are so expensive but they look pretty cool.

Tried out some focus stacking on a Six-Spotted Tiger Beetle. And because the fuckers are everywhere, a Brown Marmorated Stink Bug.
