Insects



I've been spending some photo-time with insects recently. Catching the little chaps above didn't work very well - they were just moving too fast and it was windy to boot, so focusing was a matter of luck.
I'm also working on improving my focus-stacking skills...


If you look at the out-of-focus areas, and wonder where the improved focus is: I agree! But have a look at the small photos below. Wind and a life insect made it very difficult to get more than two stackable frames.

Your first shot is great. Do not know if it possible to improve this. Well done!

The top one, the top one, brilliant - they are dancing!

@Lucy: Yes, they did indeed look as if they were dancing, flying up as soon as the sun was out and sitting down when it disappeared - I don't know who they are but I loved them.
