HI Ann -
Thanks for looking!
I think Stan has come up with some good resources. I tried Zerene
Stacker and CombineZP, but when I learned that Photoshop had stacking
tools built in I just used it. I did not know what I was doing when I
tried Zerene Stacker, so I can't voice an opinion on it. C
Thanks, Stan! A critical difference with the first shot is that there
was some actual empty space between the dragonfly and the background.
The ones perches on grass, especially the orange male, had grass stalks
all very close to them.
I very much overshoot - I just put the K-3 onto fast conti
hehe Anything is easy if you know how to do it :-)

They are all gorgeous to my eye.
It would be nice to learn how to stack - I have same questions as stan -
and how do you put them together afterwards?
Is there a manual for this?

I prefer the lighting, the darker (and more out of focus) background in the

Did you overshoot, and then decide later how many images to combine, how many
to leave out? Or could you see the DOF effect well enough while shooting?
And are yo
