Photography Challenge - Macro / Close-up

[Paul Iddon]

I somehow managed to let the camera go into auto-ISO mode, and with the use of flash - I found I had taken this photo...

Noise is impressively well controlled for 6400...

Here is my photo:

Could my photo be considered? I don't want to duplicate it here.

Adding it here is fine as well Frank.

Interesting, unknown insect. Fun to try a macro shot while we were camping. It is almost alien in appearance.

Looks like a daddy longlegs. Cranefly.

A scene from my greenhouse in the UK. A Cranefly captured by this Garden Spider right in front of me. The R7 is great for this.

April - I usually use my macro lens for wild flowers but experimented with my RF 100 to 500 and was happy how it performed with the R5. Hand held while lying on the ground. No sharpening was applied.

Nice. Wish it was Crocus time again.

I have not used Focus stacking on R5 yet. I can see how to set up the initial focus but how do you know how many images to take to cover the subject and step size.

• Canon EOS R7
• EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM
• 400.0 mm
• ƒ/6.3
• 1/640 sec
• ISO 640

This is my stacking test.

You could enable the depth composite option in the focus bracketing menu. This will generate a in-camera depth composite photo (in jpg format). If you don’t satisfy with the result in the photo, you could change the f-stop or no. of shots and repeat the process again. I recommend you to use Av mode and fix the step size to default value (4).
