curled up like a curly curled up thing
A macro image on this Saturday morning. More precisely, a four image handheld focus bracket macro image of a caterpillar spotted curled up on a leaf. It was quite dark, so I lit the scene with my phone's torch (from a 45 degree or so angle to make it look more natural) and then took a number of shots while gently moving my camera back and fore relying on its anti-shake mechanism to keep things sharp enough for jazz! I then picked the four most in-focus image to edit and, well, here it is: Fujifilm X-H2, Laowa 65mm f2.8 ultra-macro lens 1/20th of a second at f2.8, ISO 125 handheld 4-image focus bracket stacked in Helicon Focus I’m all about trying to let my images tell a “story”. And I think this one does that rather well, with the brand new life juxta-positioned with the fallen and decaying leaf it made its bed on.
