It's another indoor playday so I mounted the Mitakon Creator 85mm f/2.8 1-5X Super Macro lens on the Fujifilm X-T20 and staged the preserved dragonfly for a focus stacking session as another practice session using the LED soft light panel as the source of illumination with no supplemental diffusion.
I zoomed in the amount of magnification of the lens to fill the frame where I wanted it and set the aperture to f/4. I set the temperature of the LED panel to 5600K and took 114 separate images moving the camera 0.050mm for each shot and processing the stack of images in Zerene Stacker for the final image.
Looks like a bronze carving, sippy. Beautiful.

Thanks, UTMike. A little bit of time at the spa removing some bits of crud and a bit of time staging worked out to be okay.
Great shot Gary. Looks like a Blue Dasher.
