which one did you focus stack? these are superb.

The third one down is a 30-shot stack taken from a tripod with natural light. Actually, I should have mentioned that the moth is a 3-shot stack as well.

4 and down are my favourites, the buterfly or moth portrait is really great!

Do you have a full body shot of that buterfly by any chance? I would be courious to see it.

Martin

I wish I had the entire body in a shot (and I especially wish I could have gotten the entire mating pair!), but it was too big for the MP-E. This is as close as I could come to getting it all in there. This is the only full-body shot I attempted, because I knew it was too big.

They all are great, well done...

That set is stunning, great work.

Ryan,

thanks for the other shot, it is a very nice looking animal!

Martin

Wonderful light and detail Ryan.

Thanks again, all.

Martin, I agree; I may go out there again in a few weeks with a 180mm macro to attempt a true full-body shot.

Fantastic set of images.
