Knot Grass larva
Knot Grass
Moth larva on Mullein leaf.
I finally managed to get a stack job done on a wiggly subject. Once it got settled it sayed still long enough to get a series of 6 shots.
Loads of chuck outs though.
Usual set up
80% of full frame.
Levels CS3
Stacked CZM
15th sec @f 5 100ISO
Cheers
JohnRPS The original is that sharp I cut myself on it. :biggrin: :eek: :eek:

What a fine looking creature! I'm really impressed with this stacking stuff.

Thanks Ian
Can take a long time but when it comes together its worth it. I tried the same subject with the same gear at f22 on a single shot and it was rubbish ! You really need to see the two to see the dufference.
Cheers

Great stuff. I'm almost there with my 3D set up with two SD14 dslrs. Just waiting for another Sigma 50mm EX DG macro lens then 3D stacking here I come. :biggrin:

Nice John, very nice, if a tad tight in the frame.

Hello John.

The stacking job is excellent but I also think its a bit tight in the frame. Other than that very nice.
