I have to ask, how on earth did you get both the antennae and the body in focus at the same time? It's something I never manage to do. Focus stacking? Posted 9 years ago

  This is a single capture, Ferdy. It is very hard to focus antennae with the rest of the body because they are always moving, and in oposite directions. After a few "dozen" shots i manage to had the srike to capture them entirely with the rest of the body. So, shall i say that persistence was the main factor. In this particular day we count lots of z.rhadamanthus. Almost the entire morning was dedicated to a single species* cheers! Posted 9 years ago

        No worries. Its best to use the reply option when you reply to somebody directly, otherwise that person will not get a notification and may never see your answer. Posted 9 years ago
