Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61MP mirrorless camera and a Sony FE 90mm macro lens. 1/5, f8, ISO 100, Manual mode.

I also placed the camera in APS-C mode which gave me extra reach. You can see the before and after pictures attached above. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61MP mirrorless camera in APS-C mode. 1/4″, f8, ISO 100, MANUAL MODE Sony FE 90mm F2.8 MACRO at 135mm (APS-C mode)
