Water Cricket

OM1 + OM 90mm macro.
Handheld stack of 12 shots I think it was. Natural light. Used Helicon rather than inbody stack.

Spectacular!

Well taken and well done Pete

Focus stacking with insects! I am intrigued.

I do focus stacking with flowers lots and I use a program to set a near point and a far point and number of shots etc. Clearly that will not likely work with an insect. Can you share what you do to accomplish a 12 image focus stack of a live insect?

With Olympus m43 cameras you have focus stacking/bracketing in camera. As long as your shutter speed is high enough you can do it handheld.
