Wow, in-camera stacking is new to me too, although my phone has the ability to do the opposite.

A spare 'depth camera' allows you to selectively blur the background to make foreground images 'pop'.

Thanks for that Bill (and members). Very revealing indeed.

The Gavin Hoey clip was most informative too.

Just resurrecting this thread to mention a programme currently on the BBC iPlayer :

Episode One of ‘The Great Barrier Reef’ [first broadcast in 2012]

The underwater macro work is quite astonishing.

Utilising my spare DTI. Got my portable macro rail and made it into a more precise device to be able to take 10 microns shots for extreme macro photography using Helikon Focus stacking. I made a rigid set up adding milled aluminium attachment I made.

Thanks Michael. Been super busy in the hospital. We are in a very bad situation as compared to the first event.

Hope I can restart my macro photography again. Found this spare DTI and make it into good use.

Keep well Raphael.

I remember your posts during the first wave lockdown and I remember comparing your apparently dire situation with my retired and isolating one. I wondered whether we would hear from you again or whether your posts would just stop, and we would be left to guess the worst.

Good to hear you are still with us.

Regards

Rod

Permit me please, another broadening of the topic:

We watched ‘My Octopus Teacher’ on Netflix

This is a wonderful story; beautifully told and exquisitely photographed

... I was captivated

This thread has been quiet for a while, so I thought it could do with a little bump

Here is a MicroFossil ... roughly 3mm ‘diameter’

It’s allegedly the calyx of a Blastoid, collected at Yaxley Hampton, near Peterborough

Just before this lockdown, my daughter braved Oxford St and bought a new jumper... with this included for free!

Hi Michael,

Your picture is segment from a crinoind stem or arm. Still an echinoderm and still a nice picture.

It is not the calyx of a blastoid. They went extinct in the Permian, well before the formation of the Oxford clay which is Jurrasic, at the location you found this. It is not a calyx either as this would be much larger and cup shapped.

Thank you, Mr C yes

You will note that I used the word ‘allegedly’ in my post

That was because the collector/mounter provided the description ... but I was unconvinced.

[ it is mounted in a glass-covered cell, so only visible end-on ]

Your comments are much appreciated.

Looks like the front end of Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa a Mole Cricket.

If the jumper was made somewher in Indonesia it might have been from someone's lunch surprise

It was a bit dry and crispy. Maybe better with chilli and seasoning.
