These were photographed at the same site as the previous set. I don't recall shooting a cross-eye stereo pair but I seem to have done so.

This species is edible but I did not collect any.

EM-1, Kiron 105mm at f16, treble flash, in rain, hand-held.

Not a fan of cross eyed stereo but the underside of these have their own beauty that you captured well.

Thanks. This individual was more laid back than the others, so I saw the opportunity.

Thanks, Douglas.

I was aiming for that sort of effect with only this individual growing at a suitable angle. Ideally, I would have removed the thin blade of gross on the right side but I could clone it out.

Another vote for 1, that is a top notch image. The composition accents the angle marvelously, well done Harold

Thanks, Tim.

It is actually the slightly sharper of the stereo pair. Your eyes overlook the discrepancy.

Because of the needs of the stereo software, more background is needed than for the single image, such that the latter may be cropped after the stereogram is made.

Thanks, Morris. It had been on my "to do" list for some time.

Beautiful - noob question were you shooting with flash or costant illumination?

Thanks. Treble TTL flash. The main gun was on an L-bracket to the left, at hot shoe level and angled towards the gills. The two others, less powerful but closer, were to either side, one more to the rear (danger of flare if +/- directly into the lens), and both angled downwards at about 45 degrees. All units had moderate diffusion.

This is my standard arrangement, except that the main flash would be directed downwards, at the subject, and one of the others might be at the same level as the subject.

Triple flash is something I have only started using in recent weeks with digital, although I used it quite a few times with film (where you wait for days to see the results!).

The same effect could have been made in sunlight, with a reflector/diffuser of fill flash illuminating the gills.
