Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta)
This is the macro photo I am most proud of to date. For what reason? Because the photostacking is all done manually in Gimp and not in Helicon as I have previously done.
16 handheld shots meant that they weren't aligned as like if I'd used a tripod, so the first challenge is manually lining them all up. then going through each layer one by one using a layer mask to pick out the bits in focus.
Bottom line: social media adds keep trying to tell me to use AI apps which will get the work done in moments. Where's the heart and soul in that? It's the reward for the hard work I enjoy. I really felt good about this outcome because it was me
