Holly shit. I didn't know Olympus had this. However, the animal needs to be super calm right? I know for the machine which is moving your camera forth and back for microns but didn't know for that feature Olympus have. Amazing work!

Thanks.

Yes, Olympus cameras are great for macro. The fly was dead so I did not have to worry about it moving.

After I posted this I realized that the colour balance was off but couldn't correct because I had removed the original raw files. Any how here is another image of the same fly with better colours

Crips as a razor! Love it, man. Do you usually work with dead models :)?

Haha, yes when it comes to flies, this causes some issues but it's easier than trying to shoot a stack of 50 shots and hope that the fly does not move.

very good photo, animal is clearly visible, and very beautiful when i see it, good luck always @brianhphotos

Do you have a discord link my brother ..

Thank you but sorry I do not have a discord link.

Through what media ... I can chat with sir ...

This is amazing .. Your photos are very interesting. By seeing your work, I am motivated to learn photography, thank you @brianhphotos

Thank you and I am pleased they have given you motivation.

Thank you, I am also interested in photography, especially macro photography. It's very interesting but I don't have good equipment or a camera yet. So far, I have only relied on my HP camera and regular macro lens. Maybe @brianhphotos wants to visit my work. Here is one of my post links about macrophotography. Please guide me. thank you
