Hi all, here's my first try at stacking.
It was 15 shots in total of a very pretty "thing" that landed on my balcony during a rain storm, and unfortunately died there too!
Anyway, what do you think of the stack?

It was done by hand and took about 40 minutes, which for a first attempt seems ok to me. striving wrote in post #8700197 The colors are awesome! Great looking beetle. Nice stack work. It was a very pretty insect. Just a shame that it decided to give up after I'd shot it...but now it can live on - well, until this thread is archived! Really? Never heard of it, so I'll accept that as it's name! Thanks. "Whatever you do, enjoy yourself...otherwise, what's the point."

It's not "ghosting"....it's where the insect moved, and I was too lazy to clean up the image before posting on POTN Baselerd wrote in post #8703864 Looks good overall. Good job. Thanks Baselerd. I'll probably try again quite soon, now that I have a better idea of what I'm doing. But as to buying software - impossible right now as I've just started a business, so any money for my hobby is a big "no, no" with Missus Skygod!

The weather forecasts here are for more hot weather over the next few days, so I'm on the lookout for any more potential insects for another stacker, though I might try with reflected flash next....
