This is another drowning victim of the dog's outdoor water bowl. It was beyond the help of CPR and moth-to-moth so there was no hope for it in this world.
So...never letting a focus stacking opportunity go to waste, I brought it in and staged it using the Laowa 65mm f/2.8 1X-2X Super Marco lens as the optic for the session. The magnification was dialed in to fill the frame with the subject which was about 1.5X.

That is another awesome photo!! I have read your process three times and understand most - but not all. I do save some bugs to look at under a magnifying glass, and show to my grandchildren. I would love to try this - I have a d500 and tripod, etc. I'll save this and reread a few times, and see what happens!

Columbine1, You have everything that you need to see the tiny world in a new and exciting way. Add an extension tube to a lens (a prime lens works best) and you will see amazing details like the grains of pollen on a flower. Focus stacking is not necessary unless you desire to have a deeper view of the subject in sharpness. Flowers are a great subject to start with and the deeper areas that are in a softened blur bring the eye into the area of sharpness.
