Greenish Grass Dart

Greenish Grass Dart Ocybadistes walkeri

Playing with the built in focus stacking routine on the EM-1 MkII. Set it to take 8 shots automatically adjusting the focus between each then in camera stack them. It produces 8 RAW+JPEG files and the composite. The 8 shots fire off in what seems like a second. Done in the late afternoon as they were settling down for the night so more likely to stay still, but they still move their antennae a little. The exposures were 1/13 @ f5.6, so quite slow shutter speed. Magnification is around 1/2 life size, so depth of field pretty narrow.

The in camera JPEG stack was pretty good but had some haloes so I imported the raw files for alignment and stacking in photoshop to produce this image.
