What's your working distance if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Deleted member 3428]

About 4-5 inches or so SD.

Thats outstanding. Only thing is, and its a very small thing. Maybe a little crop on the left.

Thanks PoW

I guess it was quite cold, though if you approach slowly and don't cast a shadow most insects are tolerant.

Very close and beautifully sharp, cracking shots.

Wonderful shots Alby. How many images did you use for the stacking or are they single shots?

 

[Deleted member 3428]

Alistair: I used 4 for the first one and 5 for the second.

I think that first shot would still look every bit as impressive at 800px Alby!

Fantastic detail, love the dof too

You can take your slaps whichever way you like Alby!

Thanks for the resize mate!
