Thanks, Ken.

The insects are dead in these shots. I catch them in a plastic film canister and put them in the freezer. I've been able to do in the field stack focusing of live subjects for shots up to 1x life sized, but getting into the higher magnifications and stacking more images really requires that the subject be immobile - and I only know one way to achieve that...

Nice captures MArk, but you need better looking specimens.

Was it alive ? 69 frames must have taken some time and apparently it didn't move.

Subject: PESO - Leaf Footed Bug


After photographing a few stink bugs, I've been waiting for more attractive insects to use as subject for extreme macros. Yesterday a leaf footed bug showed up in my house -

More attractive? Not so much... 69 stacked images, K3, DFA50mm on extension tubes (I am lucky to have some old Vivitar tubes with full contacts). Metz flash.

I may try some other angles tomorrow. Comments welcomed.
