Thanks Mark, the habits of live ambush type critters is certainly a better fit with stacking than most.

These are cool little bugs, with interesting textures. They also tend to sit very still for long periods, and so are good subjects. You can even focus stack a live one, as you show nicely here.

Thank you Rik, it has been awhile since I posted anything, so a bit rusty.

Best Regards,
Brent

Nice!

BTW, I admin-edited your post to replace img tags with url , so as to be functional links instead of broken images.

Wow! Just Wow!

This is not as good as physically cleaning the sensor, but there are software options for automating the removal of dust spots from images. I have only used it with canon dpp4, but found that there is a similar capability using the Nikon Capture image processing software (Image Dust Off). https://ww...

Fascinating!

Simultaneously interesting and beautiful!

A great series of images! I especially like the spider with it's prey!

Wow! This is quite beautiful as well as interesting!

LOL, I recently had to encase my outdoor internet cable run in conduit because of rats!

Interesting study. The history of a thing can be more interesting than the thing itself.

Wonderful!

Interesting image! And timely for Halloween!

I hope that this thread is not too stale. I just ran into this issue as well. I believe that it is only a problem if one turns on distortion correction in DPP4 and varies focus distance with the lens rather than moving the camera distance. There must be some small change in distortion correction wit...

These are all quite beautiful! Particularly the spider and frog images.
