It is more difficult, but when it works it works beautifully. Plenty of our subjects fly or run off half way through a photo stack! That's the way it is. Keeps you on your toes. Theoretically, flash should work, depanding on the recycling time, wethinks. Hi Lyle,

Just one question. With your photo stacking. If you are photographing an insect, do you use flash as part of your lighting system? I have just started photo stacking using Helicon Focus with moderate success just a few issues with lighting. All the very best.

Getting it right is what it is all about. How you get it right, usually with post-image capture work is just part of the craft. When the end result is a fantastic image, how you got there matters to other professionals (who want to learn and emulate) but not to your average photo consumer who just cares about what it looks like.

I am so sick of the smug 'I get it right in camera' brigade on various forums. Of course you have to do work on your digital 'negatives'. SO nice to see someone else who thinks so!

I really love macro, but mainly bugs and beetles and the sorts, I had never really tried to photography plants, flowers ect. After reading your book I was inspired, but without the focus stacking I was left disappointed with the results. I would really love to see what equipment you use and how to use it. Congratulations on the Book it is amazing and I really look forward to seeing some e-books :) …

Dear Stanely & Kaisa,

I have purchased your book “Wildflower Country” after seeing it recently in a photographic magazine. It takes macrophotography to a new level – you are to be both congratulated and thanked.

I would encourage you to produce the e-book or even better still run a course on workflow. I’ll be there in a flash!

I trust you haven’t been badly affected by Cyclone Yasi – and thoughts are with you at this time.
