I finally found something that stayed still long enough for me to take several photos for a focus stack.
This is the first one I've tried with the mpe65 lens since I've had it.
It's 4 images taken at 2.5x and focus stacked using Zerene.
Not the best one you'll ever see, but hey, you gotta start somewhere :P

I found this great stack of Hay bales on my drive in the country... great finds this time of year...
20 shots at 20 second interval each.
Open as layers in Photoshop via Bridge
convert to smart object
Layer average.
The result is similar to that achieved by very dark neutral density filter (i.e very long exposure resulting in blurred clouds)
actually my ND100 filter was useless because the clouds where traveling very slowly thus I could not get the effect I was looking for.
by using this technique I could get a result (almost) equivalenti to a 400 sec exposure. Impossible to get with a single ND100 filter.
Note to self: reduce time interval between shots to get smoother average

While Loch Stack has a photogenic bothy which can be used in a composition it was these trees at the telephoto end of the view which took my interest.
So, I went back into my friend's cellar at Avalon Vineyard in East Pennard with the thought to photo-stack N. murinus. There's a load of rotten, blackened wood underneath a massive mixing bin in the winery cellar, and the more interesting springtails seem to like it there.
With the Neelidae I've watched, they scamper for a bit, then pause for around a second before starting off again. Ideal for stacking, if you're quick enough... (taking different focused photos of the same, hopefully stationary object before merging them all with software on the computer- Zerene stacker in this case).
What it means, is that there's a good chance of picking out more detail as you can use a higher fstop, with less depth of field. I probably could have gone higher but then there's less of a chance to use the one shots on their own. It's a juggling act.
But, and it's a big but, you also have to be very accurate, lucky and get your different, hand-focused shots all done in under a second of an animal around 0.7mm big that's usually running away from you! In the pitch black of a cellar, with a torch. And this was at around x20 magnification....
As far as I know, this is the first time anyone has managed (or wanted!) to stack N. murinus! But I must say, I'm kind of chuffed with the results. Still not perfect, but it's a learning curve...
As an example of extreme stacking, here's a shot of Megalothorax minimus I took a few weeks ago, which would come up to the top of N. minimus's legs. At only 0.25mm big, again, no-one has been daft enough to attempt to stack one before, either, as far as I know.

This group is also some of my first two attempts with 'focus stacking. A couple are random photos that I had two similar images of that I then stacked in the software (Helicon Focus). The rest are from a IACC (local photo club) workshop with light boxes and rock quartz slices that I did repeat images of (tripod used) with changes to the F-stop to change (or expand) the focus via DOF. I then processed the groups to see what additional focus depth might appear. The software also has a 3-D tool that I like but have not managed to duplicate for viewing so far. The double images are a snapshot of one small portion of the 3-D workflow. Does anyone have experience or suggestions with 'focus stacking' or 3-D modelling that might be helpful to me and others out there? The ‘focus stacking’ is especially helpful for those of us that are trying macro and close up photography. Thank you.

Well this is going to be one of my little projects this Winter, focus stacking Collembola, with this I decided to try using my 1.4x teleconverter and my MP-E at x5, so in all this was a x7 magnification handheld focus stack of just 6 images at F/6.3. I'm hoping to get deeper with the stacks as the Winter goes on.
It really is a very hit and miss affair with these guys, sometimes they will stay perfectly still and then sometimes they are always moving, especially those antennae, but I was reasonably fortunate that this female stayed put for just long enough, anyway an ongoing project and with the numbers increasing I think it quite achievable, the main thing is refining the technique :o)
I hope everyone in the Southwest has a safe day, apparently going to get very wet again and then I hear that next week temps are going to drop to -15C, well at least it will slow down the Globular Springtails a bit LOL :o)

A beach event was coming up and a stack of plastic chairs was sitting in the sun, waiting to be deployed...
The party rental place calls them “White Café Style Chairs, made for year round outdoor exposure. Plastic stacking chairs are great furniture at cafés, bistros, poolside dining and outdoor restaurants. Commercial grade plastic resin furniture is made to last with constant public use...”
Found this cool little spot where tradition was too stack rocks i'm assuming.
Canon AE-1 Program. Hawaii.
A focus-stacked shot with 60 layers spaced 0.07 mm apart, taken by Sophia, using our new automated wooden flexure stage.
Some more from Pyrmont shooting towards International Towers, Barangaroo and Cockle Bay Wharf.
This is a single frame image with about 20 images stacked again as per the previous images. These are 30 second exposures which give a smoother water but slightly more harsh highlights. Still looks alright to me.
A stack of 4 images to reduce noise, how to on our blog:
