I was out with my macro frankencamera setup again today

This one grasshopper was kind and patient enough to sit still long enough to take about 8 shots. None of them were in perfect focus, but I was able to stack two shots together to get both eyes + antennae and the upper body well in focus.

Grasshopper

by Michael Stoop

, on Flickr

Took this with 5D, 100mm macro + 36mm tube and a 580EX on a Manfrotto 330B with a MicNova mini softbox.
I opted for F/11, 1/160th @ ISO 640 to get some sort of background exposure that I didn't have to push. PP consisted mostly of some contrast adjustments and dust cleanup. My sensor has apparently become a sandbox...

Thanks for looking, C&C is always very welcome and appreciated.

Some of my lenses focus beyond infinity...!
