The Last Shot

The Last Shot

One of our little friends is dead. He used to be so colorful, that is all gone, and he will never smile again.
This is the last shot.

.

En av våre små venner er død.  Han var så fargerik, fargene er borte nå og han vil aldri smile igjen.
Dette er det siste bildet.

  1. Great works…it looks like a scientific image!

  2. I was thinking silence of the lambs – none the less. Wonderful macro shot. Love the back lit lighting, making him transparent. Should it have been a vertical shot, or does his tail end there?

  3. the mention of his demise and the way you shot him gives me a feeling of this being ‘clinical’ :) but still, it’s an awesome image.. nice shot..

  4. Well, you certainly managed to ressurect a little vibrance in this shot. Well lit. Love all that lacy detail. Nice work.

  5. Wonderful macro shot; I like the colours and these details … particularly this grid of the wings. Really good work!

  8. Beautiful detail in the wings. This shot is a fitting tribute.

  9. Great photo. Perfect detail and very good lighting.

  10. Excellent macro, really like the details in the wings and the colors are still there even after its demise… excellent light too.

    Would have liked to see the entire tail, but that just nit-picking :)

  11. What a wonderful World :-) :-)

  12. Veldig flott avsluttning på en fargeglad kar :)

    Rune — January 10th, 2009 at 18:23

  13. Amazing detail.

  14. He is still beautiful. Superb detail.

    Laurie — January 11th, 2009 at 01:24

  15. great macro there. :)

    Joe — January 11th, 2009 at 14:24

  16. Es un macro excelente, que delicadeza y que precision al hacer el click!!! Te felicito, buen trabajo…saludos.

    Alex — January 11th, 2009 at 14:25

  17. He is still a beautiful creature. Great macro.

    Frida — January 11th, 2009 at 15:02

  18. Did you shoot him with on a light table with a ring light? Unfortunately I sold my light table thinking I’d never need it anymore.

    The image does look clinical, but not it a bad way. It’s very detailed, and they’re ver interesting creatures. We cal them dragonflies here…not sure what you guys call them.

  19. STUNNING macro!!

  20. the poor bugger.

    Nice photograph and an original macro (never came to the idea of putting a dead insect on a light table, it gives a pretty cool effect here).

  21. Stakkars. Men det er en trøst at han smilte og var så fargerik. PÅ sitt eget vis var han jo flott også etter at han pakket sammen. Flott og detaljrikt bilde. SKulle gjerne hatt med den siste biten av “halen”. Det hadde gjort bildet fullkomment.

    Ståle — January 13th, 2009 at 04:05

  22. Wow those wings look like they were made of gold! Super detail!

    Arjan - PlasticDaisy — January 13th, 2009 at 11:43

  23. Stunning details and I like your narration as well.

    Thomas — January 14th, 2009 at 06:20

  24. Aw, sorry about your friend. Lovely final shot.
