5x macro of an Allen's Hummingbird tail feathers.
a living hummingbird? how on earth did you get this?

@ellen Not living, just some feathers from a cat victim. I'm just trying to look at some things differently with the macro. Once I get the hang of focus and exposure I'll start playing with merging multiple exposures for increased DOF. Something I've wanted to play with for a while, now I have the tools.

must be a fast cat! I had an opportunity to photograph an injured hummingbird once, but I was too upset! This is a really cool shot.

Very cool. I thought it was a sand formation from the thumbnail.

Cool macro!

really shallow DoF...
(handheld) focus stacking will be hard on this...

@wahyusp I'll be using a tripod and a micrometer xy stage, should be able to shift a subject by .01mm or so between frames if I want to. Very laborious though.
