Hello,
My confidence with the (manual focus) Canon MPE-65 macro lens is slowly increasing and today, I managed to push it out to 2:1, where an object say 1 mm in real life will be recorded as 2 mm on the sensor.
This fly was extraordinarily cooperative, resting on the lip of a plant pot saucer so I managed to get a series of nice shots, with most in focus somewhere in the frame. I loaded the better frames into CS6 Layers and using Layer Masks, blended the in-focus parts of the Layers to generate a composite with most regions in focus.
The ants and spider are from the previous day where I was shooting at 1:1 although that was tripod mounted; I still had my training wheels on!
Thanks for looking and I hope they don’t appear too ghoulish and scary!
Cheers
Dennis
