@conlarazon thanks, And @Dawn Patrol, yes $$..time, patience, then more $$. You can wear a shutter out quite fast shooting thousands of frames producing hundreds of images, to load a dozen or so for the few I still see here watching, yet I still do it.

incredible work DD, I'm really starting to see the difference in what a quality macro lens can produce. Did my first stacked image today with picolay. Nothing to compare to yours, but I don't think its a bad start for only 8 frames and messing with the program for 20 minutes.

What final resolution are you uploading to the mag if I might ask?

@Dawn Patrol great to see you trying this! I upload to all websites at one side of image 12 inches and only 72dpi. So rather poor you should see the originals.. : )
Your is well done for the number of frames. You can see you have good sharpness almost all across the top few MM deep into your bud.

The most important thing is having absolutely no shake. You need to use mirror lock up or a remote shutter release. I'm using some hand made lighting now with LED lamps. Experimenting all the time because believe it or not I'm not totally happy with my macros yet. Cheers..

regarding resolution, that image is 4290 x 2817 after cropping and resizing. Are you saying you use a LOWER resolution??

I have a good tripod, a cheap set of rails, a budget Tokina macro lens that won't auto focus and only works at f32 and a remote shutter release.

I also have, but did not use a full set of extension rings, a macro flash ring and I'm not even sure I can lock up my mirror on my Nikon D5200

Any suggestions?
