Fantastic closeup! Are you using a stacking setup for this?

PS: don't forget to set the country in which you took the photo, please. Posted 10 years ago

  Yes, Focus Stacking via the Macropod. This is a 6 frame panoramic of 225 focal planes per frame. I look forward to participating more. Still trying to learn JungleDragon. Any advice is welcome, I wasn't aware of country origin. Posted 10 years ago

    Forgive my ignorance, but does that mean 6 wide by 225 deep, so over 1200 photos?
    
    We'll guide you through the process of using JungleDragon and are here to help. The most important thing to know is to describe images well, by identifying their species and the location. If you do that, all other stuff will fall into place. Posted 10 years ago

      That's terrific and thank you! Yes, just over 1200 photos to complete the image you see. Posted 10 years ago

        My god, that is extreme! Whilst at it, if you didn't know already, JungleDragon's full screen viewer will bring out all that detail when you click "load original" and zoom using your mousewheel. Posted 10 years ago

    You can change it at www.gravatar.com. There you associate your avatar with the email address you used to join JungleDragon. We will then automatically pick up that avatar, and many other websites will as well. Posted 10 years ago
