Pine Weevil (Hylobius abietis)

Pine Weevil (Hylobius abietis) A macro stacked (20 photos) photograph of a pine weevil (grote dennesnuitkever, Hylobius abietis) found and posing on my garden table. After taking all the pictures I stacked them with "focus magic". A great technique for macro photography where the shallow depth of field often is a real problem.

    A fantastic contribution, Kurt. Great photo, and great description. I recently learned that the family of Snout Beetles contains over 50,000 species, making it one of the most diverse species in the world. Anyway, promoted to homepage carrousel.

    Very nice example of focus stacking. I still want to start practicing focus stacking myself some time.

    Kurt, I just watched this photo in HD and all I can say is WOW. It has to be one of the sharpest images I have ever seen. Well done!

    Focus Magic, I gotta remember that. I was just wondering about that tonight. Great, thanks.
    Hey great picture, amazing sharpness and as often is the case macro photos open up the world unfamiliar to us. Wow.
