Great work! How many images were stacked?

Usually 80 to 100.

Hey Mike, Great photo!

Mind telling me which stacking software you use? Up till this point all my macro pics are one picture as I haven't yet began to stack my photos.

I guess another reason I have began to stack my photos is because I can never manage to take that many pictures of a bug that can fly. They always move and I can never line up that many shots exactly.

Zerene stacker, free trial for 30 days then about £60 one off payment.
The lens used was from an old minolta film scanner mounted on an even older set of russian bellows - the scanner was about £40 on ebay. It doesn't have to be expensive. Before buying extreme macro equipment have a look at the sites and forums on the net, I learnt a lot there.

Thank you.
I'll check it out.

Very nice!

Mike, WOW! thanks for sharing hope you're still here.
