Series of shots of a cranefly, all focus stacked using zerene stacker. I did cheat a bit by trapping the cranefly with a glass and card, putting in a leaf and waiting for a while for the cranefly to settle. First tried shooting outside but the wind was moving the bug around so ended up doing a "model" shoot in the kitchen before releasing it back outside.

5Dmk2/MPE-65/430Ex flash.

These are awesome shots. I can't decide which I like better.

The more I see of some of the details of the beautiful creatures posted here on the FM forums the more I think that man, even with a good understanding of biology, would be hard pressed to design anything as efficient and functional as God's simplest creatures.

I want to than not only you, but all the fine photographers who post their amazing works here for all of us to enjoy.
