| | | 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.
