Hi there Socket, and welcome to the Dgrin forum
Brian's tutorials are fun to work through, and as you can see with your own work, with a little practice you too can produce great shots.

Your stacking sequence worked very well, the difference between the first shot and the last shots in your sequences is quite amazing.

You achieved a really nice final image Well Done!

Glad your enjoying the Forum and have found the Tutorial section,
there is so much you can learn on Dgrin, welcome aboard Socket

I have a Canon 400D and a 40D and I have used the Canon 60mm macro lens. However, I think it is good but I am sure the 100mm lens is much better, I love your shots
