Focus stacking

Been playing with my annus horribilis distraction therapy implement and attempting focus stacking on a compound eye. Sadly I found the Mother of Pearl moth dead but its death provided a suitable model.
The Oly tough TG5 takes about 7 shots with different focus and piles them together eliminating the usual out of focus areas. It also records a single shot to show the out of focus areas. It's brilliant!

Sounds fun to do. Love that close up detail showing all sorts of things my aging eyes just can't see ant more

@koalagardens Thanks, I've been playing again today. It's sad that the moth died, such short lives for most of them, but they provide great opportunities for experimentation.

@julienne1 It's truly astonishing what this camera can pick up. I thought my reversed lens old Canon picked up detail but this is remarkable

@milaniet I agree, Milanie, about the details. It's amazing to see individual scales so clearly.
Thank you very much
