What were they hoping to find? This is one of the worst pieces of journalism I think I’ve read in a while.

Not close. These

are stitched stacks created from 8,000 to 10,000 shots.

(click the hamburger menu when you go there).

Apparently, 1000 shots is not unusual - current NatGeo has an article with ant photos each with “more than a thousand photos.”

Thank you too - I had no idea the technique is so involved - I'll stick to property photography....

No, somebody in the UK took around 800,000 shots of a very exotic beetle and had them stacked and printed up into something huge - 6' x 4' - something like that. I think it was exhibited at The Natural History Museum in London. Each shot was 10 nanometres from its neighbours.

Very impressive result.

It rivals the Funny Papers AKA The Wash Post.
