I ran into the same problem. Since I was running as many as 1000 releases it became impossible. In the end I switched to high-intensity LED lights (500W equivalent) and that has worked.

I have attached the larger file and another shot that is a close-up (though a bit blown outs I will try to reshoot it)I would like to see a higher pixel-count image, as well as higher magnification (same image cropped).

There are five flies trapped. This is since last night, so it has been a productive day. Technically, not quite Macro as the leaves are about twice the size of the sensor. This is just a screenshot, the full image is 16MB.

One different approach would be to use a program like Helicon Remote. It shows you what parts of your subject are in focus before you shoot.

I have always thought the definition of Macro confusing, and it has changed over the years. If I have an old camera that uses an 8x10 plate, then I can create Macro on objects almost as large as a head. My preference would be based on the ability to show/print the resultant image, rather than the capture process.

Helicon Remote will allow you to stack via focus control, rather than physically moving the camera on a rail. they also make a focussing software program than can link to Remote.

I am looking for extension tubes to use with my Nikon 105 macro lens. Are there any suggestions for which brand gives the best compatibility with all of the functions?
Many thanks
Many thanks

I use Helicon Remote. It provides control over all aspects of the shoot as well as showing in-focus areas at each step. You can try it for free.

Reflex action, I was trying to post a Macro here and so this was the open Forum.It would seem most helpful if that was posted in the help section, perhaps in the FAQ subsection.

I try to attach a picture that is 44MB but get an error message saying it is too large.

The full image is about a 2:1 magnification. It was shot with a Nikon 105 mm Macro lens and is the result of 30 images taken using Helicon remote and stacked with Helicon Focus.

I have been using Bonlux Studio Light Bulb 20w LED Daylight Balanced Bulb with 5500k Color Temperature (available on Amazon) Each is equivalent to a 300W incandescent.
