A very dead fly… (example of focus stacking)

OK,

This was a good fly. May be not a good picture of a good fly. Hopefully a good illustration of a technique capturing small creatures…

Best regards

At the risk of being non-PC, and recalling an old non-PC phrase, "The only good fly is a dead fly."

I rather like eronald's term "croakroach." I take it to mean a dead cockroach (i.e., one that has "croaked".)

Eric,

Glad to see you enjoy our show here on the Pun channel

That lens doesn't look particularly sharp.  Is it better at longer distances expensive?

Hi,

I stopped down the Photar to f/5.6 for this image. At f/3.5 it still shows a lot of coma. With extension the f/5.6 is probably more like F/16, so diffraction comes into play. I guess that depth is around 6 mm, and 40 slices at f/5.6 may be to few to cover depth.

many variables in that equation…

Best regards
Erik
