The postdoctoral researchers in Nancy Moran’s lab here at UT have adopted a local longhorn beetle and, for reasons that remain mysterious, named it “Ringo”. I can only hope they weren’t punning on Beetles/Beatles.
Ringo was kind enough to pose for me in the most makeshift of photo studios. Lacking time to assemble a proper studio whitebox, I took the beetle to a small, white-painted room and fired a couple off-camera strobes at the ceiling.
Photo details: Canon 6D, 100mm f/2.8 macro lens, two off-camera strobes.
Shadows removed with Photoshop? It’s more MYN than you’re usual approach.
The shadows in the original exposure were slightly more pronounced than in this processed version, but I left about 50%.
We adopted a local longhorn beetle here in Arizona last year. We named it “Tex” for obvious reasons. 🙂
Wow! Good job for you. It will be an inspiration to everyone who can see your website because it is so informative.
