1. nice!

Nice stack!

[AndyS]

2. It was all done in-camera.

The OM will stack up to 15 images. It will bracket up to 999 for stacking using post postprocessing. Post processing actually works better as the in-camers tends to halo a bit the more images I use.

6. Indeed Peggy. I try to take care of my subjects and let them go when I'm finished

with them but I draw the line at stinging insects and cockroaches.

7. Thanks, DD.

I saw your gift to Mr DD in the Artist's group. He's a boater? I was a sailor for a couple of decades in another life I lived long ago and far away. A bad day on the water is better than a good day at work!

5. You should publish that image.

Or copyright it or something. It is too good to not share.

It sort of fascinates me...those eyes! I was bitten by one as it flew past my arm and I got a very severe reaction. They like meat and bite, unlike bees. When I had to go to 6th grade camp with my students we were attacked and the camp staff told us to hang slices of baloney from tree branches to lure them away from the kids during a lunch break on the 5 hour hike.

8. This little guy is pretty benign. I've invited them to get on my finger

so I could transfer them to more picturesque background. You'd have to work pretty hard at being stung but it can be done!

Oh and thanks for such high praise!
