Tonight’s subject is a fly trapped in the grasp of my new Drosera hercules. 🪰🌱

Watching carnivorous plants work up close is almost alien. Every red tentacle is covered in sticky mucilage droplets that look beautiful… right until something lands.

These were all shot handheld, single-shot, manual focus — no focus stacking. Still teaching myself macro photography just bought my first camera and lens around February, honestly pretty proud of how these turned out. 🙏🙂🖤

Gear & settings:
Sony A7R III 📸
Laowa 90mm Ultra 2.0 lens
Neewer Z2 pro flash + AK diffuser
1:1 magnification
f/8 | ISO 160 | 1/250
Manual focus

Still got a chunk to go I do not have many pics from 460 - 321 it was embarrassing to take pics I hated how I looked … these are from 321 - 254 still don’t see the changes like I want to see but it takes time to reverse all the bad decisions I made

Ethos McNuggets – These girls filled out the net crazy fast. Super vigorous growth, nice wide fan leaves, and they stacked up beautifully. Terpene profile was intense gas ⛽️

Rare Dankness Scott’s Lemon G (Trip Sauce ) – This one is straight lemon candy (like the lollipops the bank used to give out lol) . The structure is a bit stretchier but she’s loud honestly one of my favorite plants I have grown in a long time just popped more beans of her

Martian Fuel from Ethos hitting different under the lens tonight.

This one’s (Martian Candy OG × Banana Daddy IBL), and you can really see it in the resin thick, glassy heads with that amber starting to show through. Feels like it’s right in that sweet spot where everything’s swelling and getting loud.

Shot in the tent, Just letting the trichomes speak for themselves.
