He was very still so I thought I'd have a go at focus stacking in the field for the first time. Only took a few shots as it was cold!
Illuminated with a tiny key-ring torch.
I normally use two small Godox flashes mounted onto the Smallrig cage for macro flash but I just couldn't get the exact effect I wanted, either too dark or too bright.
