Good ones but doesn't seem as effective as some of your other recent stacks

Very good images Jody. I tried to do some stacks last night. I now understand how difficult this really is to do well. Well done,

Like it. Have to ask: Are the insects you shoot still alive and sit still for you?

Wonderful detail. How long does it take to capture all 23 shots?

Some are alive, like the last post of the Moth Stacked. This guy was however, dead. Thanks!

More like Jody the bug freezer. Seriously though, when you do shoot them with a reverse setup or an MP-E, you have to develop your approaching technique or they will take off before you get a couple of inches from them. Just move in extreme slow motion works for me.

Thanks Bruce!

nice shots Jody # 1 for me

Jody can you tell me does CZ run only in auto mode or can you do manual stack?


I thought I saw somewhere that you could do it manual also do you know about this ?

thanks

I haven't played too much with the manual, but, yes I think you can. I am using CombineZP now and the Pyramid Stack works better than the stack options in CM. You can do manual with ZP as well.

Thanks!
