Re: Scary?

For macro I use Nikon mount optics and accessories, older models with full manual control, plus Sony mount adapter, so there is no way to display information about the optics and aperture used (between f:11 and f:16 in this case).
As you know, details are degraded quickly at high ISO, in underexposed areas, or with incorrect lighting.
In this case, the lighting was provided with flash and a multi-facets white diffuser, very large (relative to the surface of the area photographed) and which provided a volumetric light, i.e. with different intensity on different areas of the diffuser (including a side metal reflector at the head of the flash, for this effect).
Respectively I tried to get at least minimum illumination all around the subject, with emphasis from certain angles, in order to keep as many details as possible.

Finally a recipe for enhancing and a significant crop (probably 20% of the original frame).
Just for fun, I spent a few hours for fine tuning in detail extraction.
