Just found this and thought I would share it these photo's speak for themselves.

Digitally manipulated though.
The big problem with macro photography is depth of focus. It is very small. Only a tiny part of the insect can be in focus at any time. The photographs on this page are no exception.

But what has been done here is to take a whole bunch (20? 30?) of photographs of the same object, with slightly different focus points, and then run them all through a "focus stacker" software, so that the software can grab the best bits from each of those photos.
eg. the tip of a wing comes from photo 9, the front of the eye comes from photo 3, the base of an antenna comes from photo 18... etc...

Going by the names of the images here, this artist is using Zerene Stacker :

Wow this is so cool. I was just this past weekend contemplating a bee or wasp Halloween get-up of some kind and was looking for detailed photos to go by. Perfek!

I have done this myself but you have to admit he has some great lighting. I would love to do more Macro work.

VERY nice C...

(Yes, I accidently mentioned the "s-word" in my first draft!)

I've already made a png of that sweet overhead pic for my friends tabletop rpg game.
If I knew how to post pictures, I'd throw some up there myself. Wonderful stuff.

I have always wanted to travel overseas, it's going to be a few years at this point though. Thanks for the heads up on where to find them. I have always loved my bumblebees, and their picture just intensified it.

My boys will like them too. Thanks again for sharing! Have a great day!
