| | | 46 Frame Stack of Sexton Beetle
Thought I'd put this of on here as well as the insect section as it's a demonstration of how a certain time consuming stacking technique can capture detail.
It's one of my husband's specimens - a Sexton Beetle.
Taken with Nikon D300/Nikkor 60mm micro/reverse mounted pb6 bellows/Nikon twin macro light system.
Post processed in Photoshop CS4.
It makes you realise the tiny details are perfectly adapted for digging - ain't insects amazing?

PS - He's dead chuffed today because the college is going to put that one (yes there are others too  ) on the walls/in an exhibition or both.

Superb photograph.
I don't wish to appear stupid but exactly what is a "46 Frame Stack"?

Dave | It's 46 seperate images merged together to give the final image. The idea is to show subjects with more depth of field than is possible with a single shot. Special software joins them together. You take each shot with a different focal point. | | | |
