Wonderfully clear images Brian.

How many images in a "stack" ?

Thanks

The number of images in the stack varies depending on the depth of the shot I want. I think these vary from 5 to 11 shots.

Focus stacking is the answer to the second question- it allows you to extend the DOF. see http://www.wonderfulphotos.com/articles/macro/focus_stacking/

I just use a bracket mounted 430Ex flashgun -see pic below of setup (camera on the right).

To be quite honest with you, that setup looks pretty hideous. It has duct tape all around a piece of paper towel... I don't know if I can copy your setup and use it during a wedding... =P

But I guess its not how your equipment looks, but how your results come out. And, your final images are wonderful.

Anyways, I just ordered the canon ring lite to go with the 100mm macro. I'll be happy if my results are half as good as yours.

Well, thank you for sharing your flash setup! I look forward to seeing more great shots from you.
