Hi Macroro
I like that!
A very nice picture, technically flawless right into the corners, only very few artifacts.
A pleasure

Re: Scales - pushing the envelope (of my kit)

Hi Beatsy At high magnification and higher aperture, these scales hardly show any more detail. I suspect that the highly reflective scales on your image show a lot of artifacts and not details. Both images are overexposed and therefore any structures are not visible. I think these highly reflective ...

Hi Macroro
Wow, really excellent!
The Nikon BD Plan Apo 40/0.80 at 40X on a crop camera (factor 1.5) takes extremely good pictures!
Object-side image width high and high resolution,
what more could you want?

Re: Papilio ulysses scales

o.k. Macroro
My last idea, do you have ventilation or air-condition in the house?

Re: Papilio ulysses scales

Hallo Macroro Deine Schuppen sind schön und sehr gut! Erderschütterungen sind tausende von Tonnen die sich leicht aber kraftvoll bewegen. Die kann man, auch mit 100 kg nicht beruhigen. Dein schweres Fotosetup bewegt sich fast zu 100 % gleich stark wie der Boden im Keller. Was man machen kann ist, da...

Re: Colorful scales

Hi Macroro

This is a very good and beautiful picture!

Re: Papilio ulysses scales

Hi Makroro The image is beautiful and very well stacked!

That's why I use 4 flash units...

Re: "Halo'ing" when focus stacking many images

Hi Yusuf
Welcome to the forum.
Is it a cheap or dirty lens, or reflections in the tube?
