A brilliant focus-stacked image of a Shield Bug, captured by SWMahy, has won the ‘Photo of the Week’ (POTW) accolade.
This stunning photograph grabbed everyone’s attention with its vibrant colours and the extraordinary detail. SWMahy used a handheld focus stack technique combined with a diffused flash to capture this incredible shot. The focus stacking technique allowed for intricate details of the shield bug to be honed in on, making the textures and patterns of the bug’s body truly fascinating.
The excellent colour and detail further elevate the photograph, making it a well-deserved winner of the POTW accolade. As recognition, all POTW winners receive a Samsung 128GB PRO Plus microSDXC memory card with an SD adapter for versatile memory storage across various devices.
Additionally, there is more exciting news to look forward to: in January 2024, the ‘Photo of the Year’ winner will be announced, and they will receive a Samsung Portable 1TB SSD T7 Shield, courtesy of Samsung.
SWMahy’s photograph serves as a remarkable example of the artistic possibilities with focus stacking, capturing the minute details and vibrant colors of a shield bug.
