Steppe Grasshopper sunbathing in the morning: #macrophotography #nature

Meet Steppe Grasshopper (Chorthippus dorsatus), ID confirmed by Tomáš Dvořák (aka ephippiger) at iNaturalist org.

Recording date: August 22, 2023
Location: Zhytomyr, Ukraine

This solo hobby project is dedicated to stereoscopic macro. 3D in my name refers to stereoscopy, not CGI. This is all real mother nature creations, not AI.
FAQ:
• Why the shaking: On this channel everything stays still during the photo session, and only camera moves. I am adding the wiggling to improve your depth and form perception on a flat screen. This is a known effect called "Wiggle stereoscopy" and is the main feature of this project. I also have other, no shaking stereo formats, check out my Playlists.
• This is mostly in focus because I am using "Focus stacking" in all of my videos. It allows me to combine many different focus points in one sharp result.
• This is not just about a camera or lens. This is a macro photography with focus stacking and wiggling. Macro photography is a very complex subject, you must dive deep into it if you are interested.

So freaking amazing that the focus is so stable at that depth with such movement!!!

[JusticePaz-oqey]

I absolutely love your work. It makes it so much easier to pinpoint differences in species

[olegogll]

All animals, dangerous or not, are amazing!
Thank you so much for allowing us to know them that close! 🤩🤗

My man was sweating after becoming the center of attention 😅

[akazinsomniac]

Wow so glad I found you this is an artist dream come true to see this close.

[vermilin]

Okay I get it now, that’s actually super cool. Whoever thought this up is a genius

[Anonymousey]

Lil foots and lil bum zooms...love it! The beads of dew on its side were amazing! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻

[nycboriqua]

Love how it clears the debris of its eye.

[daveedwards]

It is amazing to see how the creator works putting all these parts working together on such a small scale to make intelligent articulate bugs and things

[FPVGeek]

I really hope you miraculously get better. It’s good to see you standing.

[Bibidybobidy]

Love the wobble effect. You covered it in another vid. I see the depth really good here. Fascinating.

[julesrafaelgonzales]

oohh, that's why i can feel the image

[Jaywin]

I think it would be awesome to look at the contact point of calipers or other measuring tools

[imayormaynotbewatchingvinc]

"he looks like an elder so I'm gonna name him Grampa" ❤

[KellyRyan-rl]

Amazing photography. This would be helpful for insect identification.

[goldbyrd]

I love it because we can't map images to real life because the limits of photography, but this gives us a close approximation of viewing 3D in a 2D format

[Unorthodox_kidd]

Anyone else happy that these things are 4ft tall anymore?

[nadabhutia]

Wow, amazing work. Well 👍. May I know why it's wiggling ❤️

[SMORASS]

My man hit the stanky leg. Skinny legend.

[hikaroto]

which sorcery is this, when my phone became a 3Ds screen!❤
