Sleeping Bee…..Something I’ve wanted to see since I started shooting macro and finally did the night before last. This was a two shot Swiper but I can only post one.

🍬 Gummy Spider (First post) Hi all, macro photographer from the UK but living in Oz. Kept being told I should post on Reddit so here it is. First post is this incredible Arky’s Species (Triangular Spider) looks good enough to eat, but it is a living breathing 8 legged friend. 📏5mm

Very awesome
Eeeeeee! Please crosspost this to
Done 🙏
Check Jamies great tutorial on YouTube:
Many thanks 🙏
Wish I could do that with nikon d7200.
I do it manually with DSLR’s too. I have a tutorial on YouTube on some best practices 👍
Incredible- awesome shot! How did you get so much depth of field at this magnification? I guess in flight focus stacking is not an option
I actually have done an inflight focus stack with a hovering dragonfly, but that is the only one I’ve ever managed and I’ve heard of one or two other instances of anyone doing it. This is just a single. I narrowed the aperture and it’s on a m43 (OMD EM1X) which gets you more depth of field.
Nice photo, you mind sharing the equipment you used to get this?
Olympus EM1X, 60mm m.zuiko macro Lens, flash and cygnustech diffuser.
what specs did you use?

Question: I love these type of macro shots but what I'm wondering is are you able to set up and take these pictures in nature with live subjects? 🤔 I've been wondering for quite some time.
This is a live subject ‘in situ’ - (where I found it), all my images are from live creatures. There are some who shoot pets or ‘still’ their subjects, but it’s quite frowned upon amoungust most of the modern community. 👍
I absolutely adore this photo. Incredible work
Very kind, thank you.
It doesn't even look real! Keep posting, OP - what a ripper shot!
Many thanks
