For the Curious: The Effect Of Exposure Stacking
Exposure stacking is not all that common in close-up/macro photography. Each to their own but I like the effect of seventeen shots stacked on this Orb Weaver close-up. It lacks ultimate detail but has an incredible tonal range. The first shot is a single that was used in the stack. Below it are two versions of the stacked shot.
Let me know which one you like.
This young Orb Weaver is two and one half inches leg tip to leg tip. If she reaches her full potential she will reach about nine inches tip to tip and her web will be strong enough to snare small birds. Nine times out of ten the web is in front and the view is of the belly. I'm extremely happy to get this colorful shot of the upper body.
As always this shot comes from our garden/temple somewhere in the Philippines.
Sony Alpha a68 ~ Tamron 90mm 272E Macro Lens ~ ISO 100 ~ Shutter Speed 1/3s ~ F/9 ~ Exposure Compensation From 0.0 to -1.7 ~ Natural Light ~ Stacked In Fiji
