Not dead but I had cooled her down in the refrigerator to slow her down for the pictures!

No Larry, I didn't paint it, lacking both skill and patience. Just projected a photo of some wood grain texture onto myself. Sorry to disappoint you :)

Congrats on the Red. I would have sworn that was paint !!! ;)

Originally posted by roz: brilliant macro Larry .. loving all the details .. and congratulations on the 4th place .. :) and thanks for the info on the wasps .. i'm always eager to find out more about our little friends in the insect/arachnid/etc world .. and btw .. when i do a stack i submit all of them to the sc for validation .. but i dont think i've had more than 9 or 10 .. i'm interested to know whether you'd have to submit all 143 or just a few for sc to get an idea .. ?? .. and more questions .. lol .. what program do you use to stack .. ?? .. i used to do everything manually up till only a few months ago .. then i found bracketing on my camera .. talk about a game changer .. :)

Hi Roz,
Thank you for your comment. I downloaded the images into Lightroom. I export the chosen images as a category to the desktop and then import them into Photoshop where there is a process for photostacking the jpegs using "Scripts-load files into stack then Edit-Auto Blend. The final image is then edited as desired. There are tutorials in You Tube on how to do this. I used an inexpensive photo rail for taking the images although there is an in camera setting for this I have not tried but plan to soon.
I submitted 5 of the stacked images (about 1 every 25 captures) for validation. I think SC can get what they need from this. I will wait to see if they need any more information.

And the next image is you getting up off that icy ledge and fishing your drone out of Lake Michigan! As always a very well done composition and image. I like the perspective, seeing the city in the background and enjoying your portrait :)

I have always liked your unabashed style. I’m wondering what you are looking at. I’m guessing you have your camera connected to the computer and you are looking at your image on the monitor?
