I have a "very old" pic of one, which to date is my one and only encounter with these nice creatures. I just plucked it from an archive, you're welcome to use it. You will have to forgive the small size and watermark, as well as the horrible colours. It's obviously from before I learned how to proce...

Running flash from mains power?
Not sure if this belongs here on in Equipment Discussions, anyway: I'm currently using my old Venus KX-800 twin flash to light my stacks, but am bothered by considerable differences in lighting between shots. I'm already using 5 s between shots and am shooting at 1/32-1/64 power. I'd rather not go f...

Many thanks for your detailed description of the MJKZZ set, Rik! I've recently purchased the older (clamp-less) version of the kit, but have not been able to try it yet. I'm definitely looking into flocking now. On assembly and finding the focus for my Canon EOS 70D body, I also noticed I needed 1x7...

Re: Ant Larva - 7.5x - Canon EOS RP - Nikon CFI 10x
Tech: In general, with near-white subjects I have problems with white halos after stacking. How can I remedy this? Perhaps slabbing/substacking could help? Bio: Would an ant egg/larva grow to completion in an isolated environment or do they need ant-support? What you have here is the ant pupa, she ...

Re: Ergonomics of photomacrography
I'm wondering if a saddle type stool could be an option, as it should help keeping a better upright posture. I can't speak for your specific case, but until recently I spent quite some time behind a dissection microscope myself. In this time I mostly used one of these saddle stools and found this p...
