Four springtails

[GardenersHelper]

Captured yesterday afternoon in the church grounds opposite our house with a Canon EF mount Laowa 100mm 2X macro lens and a pair of 2X Kenko teleconverters attached to a Sony A7sii with a Sigma MC-11 EF to Sony E mount adapter, and a Yongnuo YN24EX twin flash with flash heads reversed and firing into a 12 inch (30cm) diameter bowl lined with printer paper over aluminium foil, and a single diffusion layer of artificial silk.

The raw files were processed with PhotoLab, Lightroom and DeNoise AI.

There are 1300 pixel high versions of these images and the other images from the session in this album at Flickr.
