A Diabolical Patience ...
Arizona Mantid Nymph
(Stagmomantis limbata)
34-image stack (Zerene DMap + PMax for retouch), taken with Nikon D810 + Voigtländer 125mm f/2.5 SL Apo-Lanthar Macro.
Natural light, as-found in nature ... (cropped out a leaf in the upper-right though).

Thank youlonepal wrote:Spectecular stack!
The breeze at the time was very faint, almost not there. Probably would have been too much for 3:1, but at ~1:1 not so bad. I used a tripod, composed in Live View, and used a macro rail + a remote switch to actuate the shutter.lonepal wrote:Spectecular stack!
How did you take 34 photos without any movement on the leaf or the mantis? Is it handheld?
