Very sunny day brought out a Drone fly which sat happily on the south facing wall for a few minutes. I used the Super Sixty (mm) lens on its 1:1 setting, focused on the eye. 15 images stacked, differential 4. I knew the eyes were quite spectacular but didn't know about the blue colouring on face and legs or about the odd little feet.

Oh my word this is fabulous! Your technique is totally beyond me but I love the result! Are you continuing with your butterfly development pictures this year? fav of course!!
@merrelyn it’s a Super Sixty as far as I’m concerned. I think 15 is the default stacking setting and because OM1 does all the hard work, I just agree, it’s easier! Have you tried playing with extension tubes yet? I’m rather pleased with this. It helps if your model cooperates, doesn’t it?
@stowgarden thank you. Stacking is easy with the OM1, it does all the hard work, all the human needs is steady hands - I lack that now - and a cooperative subject. Hopefully the gods of buttermoths will be kind to me again this year and Mrs Brimstone will decide my Baby Food Tree is suitable for her offspring. I never know what I’ll find but there’s always something going on. 🤞🤞🤞📷🦋🐛
@jesika2 My Nikon ones are Meike - I won them in a camera club raffle. It took me a little while to get a handle on them. I'll have to look into some for the Olly.
