I know it’s random but if you follow @simplydannie in her new story veneer finds a mantis this is the mantis it was based on😂

Mantis Love ;)

A session with this mantis I found on the coast of the Delmarva peninsula. The face shots are simple handheld stacks of 2-3 shots. I wasn't only stacking for DOF here, but also to widen the shots in the same manner as stitching panoramics. First few are 1:1 shot with my 105mm on a DX Nikon body, but since the shots are laid out like a 2 shot pano it gives the illusion of slightly less magnification, and also is why the format is more squared off.

This is a lesser known method I've used quite frequently in my macro work, though I've never heard of other people doing it. I do this so I can still shoot from 1:1 - 4:1 and still get a decent amount of the insects body in the frame despite the fact I'm shooting at macro and beyond.

Some random watercolor studies from last year when I was having a real hard time sleeping. Sometimes 4 am just calls you and you gotta get up and paint.
