Bee Mimicking Fly - a photo on Flickriver

Bee Mimicking Fly

284 stacked images. For this session I experimented with making 2 detailed stacks - 81 and 62 images - and then 4 fairly casual stacks ranging from 50 to just 20 images. This resulted in 6 separate stacks of the subject which were then combined - some were almost complete, others where very banded, but in combination they came together well.

I also tried to improve the background a bit, in this case I picked up a scrap of junk mail with a rather nice graphic on it and stuck it a few inches behind the subject.

Made with a Pentax K3, DFA 50mm f2.8 macro, and extension tubes.
