Thanks, Bruce. I wound up shooting at ISO 800 yesterday and that worked
out to most shots being at 1/15ooth to 1/2000th at f 5.6. That makes me
realize that if a flash with high speed synch would be needed, so it
probably would have to be the AF540FGZ. I do have a Bolt LED ringlight,
though - I will probably try that next.
Thanks -
Mark

Remarkable images. I like #2 best for contrast and composition,

How fast are you tripping the shutter, Mark? If you run an AF540 flash
at 1/64th power the recycle time is _very_ fast; stroboscopic speeds.
If that's not quick enough for you, I urge you to try LED panels.
Compact, portable, continuous light; can be used in light modifiers. I
put them on micro tripods for off-axis light. Great for macro.
Maybe you can lull your dragonflies by setting up a small TV in front
of them? :-)

I'm trying to get my insect photos up to the next level, and it seems like
stack focusing is part of the process to do that. I worked on it yesterday
with mixed results - still have a lot of stacks to go through. But here are
the first:

All taken with Pentax K-5 and A*200 f4. No flash since I needed to grab a
fast bunch of images to stack, and no way could the flash keep up.
All of these photos got flaws but maybe on a less windy day this will work
out. C&C appreciated.
