Dead right! Its and insect not an arthropod! The fly decided to clean its front feet for the second exposure. I don't know what happened to the focus but I may have left out at least one step. The flower may have been vibrating for one or two exposures since there was a wee bit of wind. The other picture is very sharp. I used the Sigma 50/2.8 Macro EX with a Tokina doubler. Every little hair is nicely resolved but this is not the case with the fly stack. They look fuzzy.
I used the massive Manfrotto and pan/tilt head. But I need a couple more things for this job -- a bubble level and a ball head with a quick release plate of some kind. The level on the tripod died in the cold years ago.
