Hi
I have just bought a pristine set of Nikon Bellows for a silly price, as I want to do something different. I want to create a series of details of my sprawling mechanical pencil collection. My old Nikon 50 is pretty dire on the bellows, and I have procured an old Nikkor Micro 55Ais on Fleabay, to improve things. It should arrive next week together with a reversing ring.
Here are my first efforts. They are all stacks. Just moving the camera forward a little seems to work.

You did a good job, those chrome surfaces can be a nightmare of reflections that need to be controlled...

Panorpa.
Known as the flying scorpion, it is a truly strange (and harmless) creature… -
It has a nice wing pattern!

True, very striking. Those two pairs of wings are translucent, and they remind me of Tiffany-style lamps…

That slight low angle shot is nice framing 👍

I had noticed that this species had disappeared along with most others. Was looking back through images from earlier this month and this one popped out. So here's the last Emerald until maybe next spring...

Hmm... if the season is ending over there... it means it's about to begin over here 😁
