Same setup as
>>3458724 I'm not sure how many images is in this photostack of a jumping spider (Salticidae spp.) 2-3 maybe. Live subject.

You can still focus stack even hand held. Just take lots of photos and take care to center something. Then when auto-aligning in Photoshop you'll only need to trim some of the boarder off where they are not matching up. It is easier than most people think, but you do need enough light to get your exposure speed fast enough to get rid of motion blur from your hand.
>>3458778Nice. I once spent an entire day trying to get one caught during take off flight.
>>3458783For manual don't use the focus ring unless you are doing normal photos. Macro DOF should be so thin that you need to simply move the camera back and forth; either by hand or on a rail.
>>3458791Don't sell yourself short. The ones I posted aren't that great really. There's a host of mistakes in them.
>>3458794Nice. I wish my light ring was powerful enough for macro stuff for handheld and thin enough for use with my other stuff with ultra short working distance.
>>3458797Very neat concept. I could take pics like that all day, just experimenting.
>>3458801Freezer kills. Fridge makes sleepy. Freezer can also cause condensation on the subject when you take it out and there's high humidity.
>>3458814Good photo, but please DELET! *shudder* I'm glad my hives don't have a mite problem.
>I removed them before releasing.Very nice of you.
