Amen -- in fact, that's mostly what I use mine for.

Hi Zos -
Thanks for looking and commenting. I'm just working as fast as possible.
My experience with frozen bugs is that they lack the pertness of live
subjects - wings are not in the best positions, heads are down, etc. The
biggest problem I've been facing with these stacked shots is the

These are really, really good. Are you freezing the insects or just
trying to work as fast as humanly possible? You know you can freeze
them temporarily right? My metz 54 flash when it was in working order
would throw out enough light for macro like this and recycle
instantly. Its not a ring light
Mark I think the 4th one down with the somewhat brighter exposure, is
the best of a great group the last one is quite nice as well.

I'm trying to get my insect photos up to the next level, and it
seems like stack focusing is part of the process to do that. I
worked on it yesterday with mixed results - still have a lot of
stacks to go through. But here are the first:
Those are amazing.
Perhaps humming softly would lull them into motionless appreciation?

Exceptional work, Mark. Do you have a blind set up?

Remarkable images. I like #2 best for contrast and composition,
despite the tiny SF artifacts.
How fast are you tripping the shutter, Mark? If you run an AF540 flash
at 1/64th power the recycle time is _very_ fast; stroboscopic speeds.
If that's not quick enough for you, I urge you to try LED
That is an interesting idea... I have one of those flashes but have not
used it in a while, also an old Olympus safe synch device which is
supposed to protect newer camera form high voltage of old flashes. the
AF360FGZ that I use has the same setting, but I don't know if that flash
at 1/16th
Thanks - these are the best of several tries at various stacks - devoted
a good bit of the last two days to this as the process is pretty time
consuming. I think I am only about 1/2 way through the stacks I shot.
Most fail abysmally in the wings - they just get all jumbled together. I
may try
Wow. Simply superb. Beautiful color and amazingly sharp.

Thanks, Bruce. I wound up shooting at ISO 800 yesterday and that worked
out to most shots being at 1/15ooth to 1/2000th at f 5.6. That makes me
realize that if a flash with high speed synch would be needed, so it
probably would have to be the AF540FGZ. I do have a Bolt LED ringlight,
though -
Stunning work. I certainly don't see the flaws that you do, Mark. I can't
imagine how they could be better.
I am not going to express this well but the last batch had an artificial look
to them as if they were something other than photographs. They almost looked
drawn or like computer
