Obsidian Imaging

I've been invited to be an creator for corp and as a long time holder of their i couldn't be happier. are headed for the .

I've made the jump from Canon to Olympus and couldn't be happier with the results. Unfortunately my hard drive died around a month ago and I still need to have a data forensic analyst fix it until I have my library of photos back. Between these two things I've had to be absent for a little while but I'm back now and more inspired than ever to work on macro photography.

This is on my new camera the Olympus OMD EM1 MK3 with the 60mm lens, a raynox dcr250 attached on the end and a cygnustech diffuser. I used the 5th bracketing mode for a handheld stack of around 80 photos, compiled the stack in helicon and edited in lightroom.

I drove 90 kms to photo invertebrates at 3am and it's pretty ironic that my favourite of the night was this really common hoverfly but that morning dew really makes her eyes pop. Laowa by Venus Optics

Photos range from 4-10x, all are 1/200, some are f5.6, others 8 or 10 and between 100 and 400 iso. Manual rail on a tripod was used for all images.
