a couple recent shots

Im trying to use aperture 5.6 (instead all the way to 8.0 - for IQ )
1. some eggs? (straight from camera (+1 contrast only)

and the stacked image (brightened slightly and neat image for noise reduction on final stack

4. leaf hopper (soft - dang ole aperture 8.0 - hard to get good image quality here)

another from a few moments ago...aperture 5.0 (about half of my range from 2.7 to 8.0)
this would work well, with better composition i think. and if i can ever stack a bug or spider, then i would use the smaller number to achieve better IQ

thanks Kurt. these lil guys are difficult for me, and move away as soon as they see me. this one is a regular on the bushes out front now, so i hope to get some better shots.
