Pretty much as the title says.
The Woodlice was stacked from 2 photos.

Think I am getting the hang of this stacking now

These tiny little bugs were about 1mm long founs them under some bark, but getting into a comfortable position to take a photo was a lot harder than anticipated. Had to do this with x1 on the MPE 65 just waitinf for my 430 ex to arrive them hopefully I should be able increase the MAG factor

My little friend here had decided that today she was not going to be the ideal model for me. But I think this one is kinda OK. Cropped and rotated.

    How cute are these spiders - I'm going to go and have a read about where they live to try and capture one in a photo!!

    Thats an excellent shot of the wood lice. I just took this stack shot with six slices.

    I am feeling a bit happier but probably the next one won't be as good.
    Cheers

    Michell, jumping spiders are the greatest little critters. You will find them hunting on the walls (outside) of your home. They hunt like a cat and can jump 50 times their own length. When they jump for prey they leave a tether in case they miss their jump. They do not build webs. If you are lucky some will accept an offering of a fly. (some but not all) Hope you have some fun chasing one of these guys. j

    Good shots-
    Some duplications on the stack esp lower left of the shell- looks as if you need to realigh one of the shots.
    Bugs in #2 are springtails.

    Hey that first shot came out real nice, stacking takes a bit of time to figure out, but Brian is more than willing to help with advice on this subject.

    You doing great Job3210 clap.gif ... Skippy :D
