Creepy Crawlies

Wollensak Microfilm Projection lens f6.3 65mm on some M39 extension tubes on my NEX-3. Desk lamp with 9w fluoro bulb for lighting, used a bean bag to support the camera, slid the contraption back and forth for focus.

I had a little play with some macro shots of my pet Tarantula, Denis. Seems this is a pretty capable little lens.



My first ever attempt at focus stacking, 20 images. Due to shooting through glass that had many particles of dust and dirt, it is less than ideal, but the technique seems to work well, as does the lens:



Second attempt at focus stacking with one of the black crickets I feed to Denis, first is 17 shots, second is 15.

second one is especially good from Denis.

Cheers, I hope to get some better ones. She's decided to hide in her burrow for now, but she gives me plenty of opportunities to shoot her and she sits perfectly still fairly often.
