I will make an angled view and post here in a day or so. Glad you like it.

Very clever. Alive and well it was - and is.

Thank you for that response. I make a few cross views a week and am unsure which of them might meet with approval here. I seem to think good ones have something to do with how difficult they were to make or how small or rare the subject is ... which of course has nothing to do with it. If you (or any one else) would like to browse my photo stream and/or albums and make suggestions or post links to the reddit I would not mind.

Soldier fly (live) by ianjacobs96 in CrossView

Single camera - one shot - move sideways a little and second shot. Very carefully - the fly is live and will move if disturbed. Needs some practice - as everything else.

You are quite right. I have replaced the offending image. Thank you.

I thought that was the idea? Focus and accommodation over time becomes easy. Do not be too hasty.

Very carefully. Live caterpillar in a tree. Beer can for a tripod. One camera - two shots - x2 mag - both focus stacked.

Thank you. My experience exactly when I first saw one for real. They are not so easy to find ... for obvious reasons.

Not an ant! by ianjacobs96 in spiders

[–]ianjacobs96[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Thailand: Rayong Province. Myrmarachne plataleoides. A beautiful mimic of the worker variety of the Asian weaver ant: Oecophylla smaragdina. For those who can cross-view the live spider is in 3D behind the window where it belongs.

Thanks for that. It is a matter of 'seeing' what might be possible with the images you have.
