[alliec]

Thanks all for the great comments:-)

Yes they are all stacked from approximatley 5 shots for each image to get the refraction inside the drop and the drop itself in focus.

EXIF for #2 please

and what lens were you using?

fantastic shots!!!

ISO100, f6.3, 1/160 and FEC -2/3. Shot with the MPE-65 at above x3 magnifications.

These are fantastic shots !!!

Does that mean you refocus each image on each element?

Can you give a quick outine on how you stack them?

Many thanks.
