Thanks for viewing and for asking. I use a "FLAT" depth of field objective as the lens of the camera which means that only something like a tip of a hair is in sharp focus at a time. As such, the camera moves forward in 15-micrometer steps at a time (there's 100,000 micrometer in a meter).

This image was 168-images in the stack. I shoot them in RAW and then process the stack into TIFF so that they can be processed in the focus stacking software.

I do not march the camera forward to get the entire subject in focus for it would take far too many steps so much of the remaining subject is softly out of focus.

I really think this one is one of your best recent examples. Those pesky flies are tough to nail down soemtimes because they have excellent RADAR domes on their heads...hahahaha

Thanks, Blair. I will admit that I have far more swat misses than I do hits. When I get one I run around the house in celebration like the fellow that scores a goal in an international soccer match.
