Post your BUG shots!

Great stuff. Couldn't you just have stacked the 3 shots in PS? It worked out well. These are such neat subjects.

Hi Ed

I used LR to open all the Files as layers in PS and then in PC, Edit - Align then Edit - Blend but there was a lot of ghosting where PS was "fooled" into overlaying some the OOF anatomy over the in-focus bits.

So, I undid the Edit-Blend and then manually blended the (already Aligned) sharp bits via Layer Masks. This way, PS did the heavy lifting and all I had to do was touch up the result.

Cheers

Ah, OK, I see. That makes sense for a hand-held stack.

This guy was tiny, fast, and angry I was trying to follow him. Trying to get a stack was out of the question. Barely got this. Really just wanted to play with the Raynox DCR-250 and see how it did.

Good grab! Never seen one of those!

Usually they are a bit bigger (and outside), but they are still everywhere here

What a super bug!

My resident cricket. I am sure this one lives in my garden as I have seen it several times - if so then it doesn't move around too much.
