WINNERS of @Art-Venture traditional Art contest: “Freesteyle Portrait”
This Macro of Wasp we could not ignore, especially if you click on image and get full screen you will see even more details. The technique that Brian used is Focus stalking or extreme Macro:
Focus stacking is a powerful technique for extending a photo's apparent depth of field. It's perhaps most useful in close-up and macro photography, since the camera lens's highest f-stop is often insufficient to render everything in focus.
- In this work Brian describes:
It‘s 5x magnification macro image of a wasps head, focus stacked from 24 individual shots. Having multiple comments to his images brian offered in future posts to do tutorial how he does Focus Staking so hopefully we all improve our skills in Macro Photography.
That beautiful flower of saintpaulia especially the Pistil from such close distance. It is possible to see all little hair and the centre of a flower that is completely white. I am glad that you decided to use Nikon for the picture and not your smartphone.
Seeing that bright poisonous green we could not stop staring at this Iguana, details of the eyes, multiple colors of Iris and everything is quite good focused.
@orion7 with beautiful dewdrops on a green stem with reflection of flowers in the drops. Just captures the eye of viewer and once again we wonder about the masterpiece of our Nature.
Once again the magic of dewdrops but from other view and this time cold colour blue used to make a contrast to warm yellow. Absolutely astonishing effect.
This Interesting insect we could not miss, @tambi mentioned that this is supposed to be ant, but looking at it it looks more like spider rather than ant for me. Very well captured looking at the legs we can see how the light goes through them and even to see the hair.
@sammy00 with another picture of spider, like the web and dewdrops on the legs. Well done too!
Thank You, I'm thrilled to have done so well. All the images were fantastic but I think my favourite was the orange water droplets.
Thank you art-venture and your supporters for hosting this competition.
You are welcome, hope will see more interesting works from you in future!
I'll do my best.
1st place is doubtless, but... you didnt even mention my works.
do you consider these macros are not good enaf?
are the objects not intresting?
but you dont meet creatures like this everyday
I feel sad about your jury, indeed.
Contest is contest there will be always people who are not among the winners and it is not possible to mention all the participants. Many of works are good but we have only 7 winners. In many contests there are only 3 or max 4 and it was our own will to give away 10 Steem for another 3 users.
We are organizing such contests for last 2 years and every time we sponsoring our own Steem and looking for sponsors to make the prices more attractable. That is why we are jury and make the final judgement.
Also you have to bear in mind that almost everyone who took part was upvoted with our trial @worldofxpilar.
It is free for people to take part in contest or not.
