95 Mar 26 Reply This is a polarizing lens which brings out the natural colors of the crystals. The microscope has the usual light from under the stage where the slide goes. I think all microscopes are designed this way. Mar 25th

95 Mar 26 Comment Thanks Mike. Mar 24th
95 Mar 26 Reply Thanks you Gloria. I still need to work on making better crystals. Out of 10 slides I may get one with good crystals and it is very time consuming searching through the slides! I think I am getting better at the camera part though. I looked at some yesterday and the photos are getting easier Mar 23rd
95 Mar 26 Reply Thanks! Mar 11th
95 Mar 26 Reply Good points. Thanks! Mar 11th
95 Mar 26 Reply I just thought the yellow border looked nice but not really needed. Thanks for your comments! Mar 10th
95 Mar 26 Comment I love the colors and shine on this beetle. I wish the antennas were sharper. Perhaps you could sharpen those in PS. A higher f stop might help too. Yesterday I watched a live macro session by Mike Moats. He uses f32 ( I don't think my lens even goes that high) to get better DOF and the image is soft at that f stop so then he sharpens with his editing program and that seems to work well he says he rarely photo stacks. I am going to try that. Mar 8th
95 Mar 26 Comment This is a great grasshopper photo! Kind of creepy with all the detail. I guess I don't see the softness in the near part. Mar 8th
95 Mar 26 Comment Very nice. Did you have to focus stacking? I might just crop a little on from the sides to omit the black background, maybe make it a square phot.o Mar 8th
95 Mar 26 Comment Wow, tons of detail in parts and a lot of stacking. I looked at the original and there is some detail in the white spikes but almost none in the finished photo. I would try to go back and re-edit to get some of that detail in the white spikes so they are not whited out. Perhaps shooting it with. Little less light might also have helped. Mar 8th
95 Mar 26 Comment This came out so nice! Great detail on the head and DOF. Mar 8th
95 Mar 26 Comment Like your final photo a lot! I doubt have a few questions. Why did you need ISO of 500? What technique did you use in PS to create the main effect? And one comment: if I want to ring back some of the sharpness I had in the original I just put it under the new photo and brush it in as much or as little as I want.. would that not have worked for you? Perhaps it would look a little different? Mar 8th
