Very impressive. Do I understand well your caption note that this is the result of several shots stacked together? Or can you get sufficient depth of field (with such a macro level) in one shot?
Bastetamon
Bastetamon October 11, 2018
Yes, this is the result of 225 shots

Awesome! Love this! I so want to be able to get this close of a view, but even with my extension tubes and Raynox 250 macro conversion lens I can't seem to get this close. Great ingenuity! :)
