Queen of the hoverflies

A female Volucella zonaria about 19mm body length. First 3 shots are natural light but I shaded the hover with my body in the first 2 shots. Rest are full flash.

Lovely shots, especially the last one of the mukti-faceted eye.

I am sorry if it is a bit off topic but I was reading some of your tutorials a couple of days ago and I wondered if you still recommend the same free Stacking program you mentioned there or if you have a new recommendation.

Great set!

Thanks Rannith and Predrag for the comments.

Rannith- I think combine zp is probably the best freeware stacking prog. I actually use zerene stacker which has a number of advantages but is commercial software.

I wonder how many people on here actually recognize your nickname.

I guess anybody who is in or into photography would have to have the refinement and discernment to know Terry P.
