Stacked output - 30 macro shots combined into one wide depth of field composite image

A small sugar ant composite based on 30 individual photos; its my first image using my diy automatic macro machine

 

The machine essentially moves the camera in very small increments via a stepper motor and takes a picture at each position. Its all controlled over USB using some hardware and software I built myself.

 

The individual pictures are stacked together in software to obtain a sharp output image.
