a so so Scapholeberis mucronata stack

here it is:



I'm afraid I can't explain what I want to say but I will try... This is a question mainly to Rogelio (:

How do you make those stacks?I mean in usual way or not? The surface of waterfleas on your images is sharp, but guts remain unsharp or at least I think so. If I try to stack all middle shots contain part of surface and what is inside, and that - when stacked - makes an ugly effect: too many sharp surfaces one above another look bad put together.

Here are 'handmade' PS stacks:


Let's say there were 40 images in both. I did some 'pre-stacks' consisting of 5-10 images, and than stacked them by myself erasing shapr parts of guts. For me it looks much better than when both surface ad inside parts are sharp.

Nice set!.

On some images I did get the ugly effect that you mention, to avoid that I have to locate the frame where the internals part start to appear in focus and did blur it from that frame to the last (that was very frustrating, thanks God I only had to do that on few images).

You managed to get a great amount of detail in those shots. Well done.
