Coreus marginatus

[crisarg]

2 photos of a young Coreus marginatus true bug.

First one is a dorsal view, focus stack of 44 natural light exposures at ISO 250.

I cropped a little bit the final image because the right antenna was under a leaf but the resolution is still good.



The second one is a single exposure of a different specimen at around f8, ISO 250.

Hi Christian

This is one of my favorite species of True Bugs, but I think I've only seen the image and a later stage of the nymph. It's quite interesting to compare the two pictures, one stacked the other a single exposure.
The details in the stacked image is very good, and I like the rendering of the abdomen and the legs. The second photo is the type I do myself, or at least aim at achieving. You have a very nice focus in the image. I seldom dislike that parts of the subject are out of focus, and a good focus like here simply hides the fact that it's not stacked.

Thanks for the visit.

They are quite interesting for me too, I like a lot their big, solid antennas and their nicely shaped body.

If you look closely, the specimen in the single exposure image is missing the front leg.

I've also made an even better stack of a more mature specimen, I'll post it here later after finishing the many pictures I have in my queue now.
