Hello everyone,

Today I want you to show us your most beautiful shots using focus stacking.

You are not limited to only one photo, just the best.

Feel free to ask questions if you need to.

Here is one of my last photo from sunday. 8 shots stacked

The insect looks very interesting

Hi Sbpw1216, great subject but too much noise and a bit too oversaturated.

Have you stacked the picture free hand? Seems to be that there are some blurry areas which might be caused by this.



I would try to reduce the shutter speed to 1/160s to 1/250s and reduce the ISO to max. 400.

Thank you for sharing!

Today I found a dead fly and dead jumping spider. To improve mij skills of manual stacking, I arranged a composition of those two insects and made this stack out of 35 pictures.

I used a Laowa 100mm CA Dreams 2:1 macrolens on my Canon EOS 77D camera and a manual rail.
ISO 800 / f8 / 1/13s

Beautiful picture, perhaps next time you could take a few more pictures to improve the sharpness.

I thought as the guys in the start, but think isn't it your artistic interpretation Sbpw1216 ?
For me nice climate on the picture and good shot, but maybe a bit improving the picture needs.. but it still depends of your as Photographer idea and interpretation
