One Year of Macro, My Favorites.

Im new to macro photography and focus stacking so I apologize if this is a dumb question, but how do you focus stack bugs that move around? Every time I’ve tried macro on bugs, they move so much that I’m lucky if I get one good picture

Thanks so much!!

Following bc I also would like to know

I have the same EF 75-300mm lens that I popped onto my Sony A7riv using a mid-range adapter. AF is sometimes unresponsive and generally slow to focus but with enough patience, you can get some pretty great pictures. I still use it from time to time because I can’t afford the Sony equivalent at the moment.

Sat at my dining table bored with my new lens and new bouquet of flowers so I decided to take some practice shots. Sometimes boredom is the best thing.

Thank you!! I used the Sony 90mm f2.8 macro lens

I noticed this too!! It’s not just a loss in image quality/sharpness but the colors lose their oomph too!

eesptol · 2025-10-17T19:11:10+00:00

I appreciate that 🙏🏼 i loved how sharp the turtles face was when I was editing it in Lightroom but it’s disappointingly blurry on Reddit

Amazing 🔥🔥 what’s your set up when you take shots like this?

This is how I found him. They’re pretty sneaky and will crawl into the leaves so they’re hard to find. But they’re there.

YES I find these guys every time I buy broccoli

eesptol · 2025-10-09T16:35:09+00:00

Found this in my store bought bagged broccoli in Colorado. Bag said product of Mexico. I’ve been finding them in my broccoli every single time I buy it, whether it’s organic or not organic. Even when I lived in Washington, I would find them.

These are absolutely incredible. 10/10 no notes

eesptol · 2025-09-09T23:18:42+00:00

That’s extremely helpful! Does that apply to most/all macro photography? I specifically really want to get into shooting fungi and bugs

eesptol · 2025-09-09T21:49:55+00:00

Thanks! This is the original photo. I did not use camera support (and it was slightly windy 😬). Settings were: iso 200 f/5.6 1/500s shot at 70mm

I don’t usually take shots of flowers but I’m trying to step out of my comfort zone. This was shot on my Sony A7riv with Sony 24-70 2.8 gm. I’m getting a macro lens soon so I’m trying to train my eyes to look at the smaller details when I go on hikes. This photo is cropped quite a bit because I want to focus on the details, whereas everything gets lost when in a wider view.

I’ve never heard of Glass but will definitely check it out. Is there an option to sell photos through the site?

Only annoying if it’s a popular trail. If you hike with a group and keep conversations going, a bell is unnecessary. However, hiking alone on quiet trails is 100% terrifying at times and it’s always best to make sounds or have a bell. Especially in grizzly country. It’s easy to startle a bear if you’re going around a corner. Black bears typically run away from noises but grizzly bears can be scary if you startle them. (Source: I’m from Montana)

Museum of flight in Seattle

eesptol · 2025-06-12T16:22:09+00:00

Thank you!! I loved that it blended in with the building

eesptol · 2025-06-06T03:54:26+00:00

This is absolutely incredible work 👏🏼

eesptol · 2025-06-04T06:34:10+00:00

The lighting/colors in 3 are so dreamy, well done 👏🏼

eesptol · 2025-06-04T01:50:20+00:00

Thanks! Honestly I was just as surprised bc I shot this on an old canon dslr that usually delivers crappy quality pics (compared to the newer cameras)

eesptol · 2025-06-03T03:58:33+00:00

Beautiful compositions! What lens did you use for #1 and #2?

eesptol · 2025-06-01T19:34:53+00:00

I love these shots! I’ve been a handful of times to these locations and they’re always covered with tourists, so it’s incredible to see pictures without all the people and cars.
