  • Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mk.2, Olympus 30mm Macro
  • F/8 30.0mm 1/100s ISO-1000 15 frames

I’m still figuring out how to best do this, but I’m amazed at the pictures I can get! This is the JPEG straight from the camera, so no editing other than the stacking and tweaks the camera does. I almost exclusively use natural light, but I’m probably going to need to grab something for this type of thing.

Lots of fun, and if my neighbors didn’t think I was crazy before, I’m sure they do now! 😂

    I also use a wired release when possible, and it definitely helps. I wasn’t sure if you were maybe using a focus rail or something.

    I wish I could get my subjects to hold still! 😂 From the wind blowing flowers and leaves around to insects and spiders flying/running away it can get frustrating! I can definitely see why many people use a 90mm or similar for insect macro. Unfortunately the Olympus version is a pro lens, and $1500 is a good bit for me to cough up right away. So I’m keeping my eye out for other options!
