Got a crazy idea to try and get a stacked portrait of a dewy dragon.   This past weekend conditions gave me the opportunity.

Canon 60D Camera
Sigma 150mm/F2.8 lens
10 images stacked - iso 200, F11, 1/5"
Focus Rail

Here is the XL version of the dewy dragon : XL Image

C&C Welcome

Great looking stacked shot Jerry, I like the dew and the nice tight composition.

This guy must have just come out of a can of soda. Awesome capture of the dew covered dragonfly.

I love how the drops act as lenses and magnify the details underneath

An amazing amount of of dew, and an amazing amount of stacked detail.

Hi

A coat of many droplets - and a smashing up close image of this bejewelled treasure


All the best

Excellent execution, Jerry. Love the lens effect of the drops on the compound eye.

Outstanding effort and results. This is the most meticulous nature close-up work. You inspired me to get back out there.
