The purpose of this post is to show you how I shoot my stacks and the settings I use.
Having prepared a fly, I first take some shots of it on some cardboard.
Basically I set the white balance for the lighting I am using, make sure I am shooting in raw rather than jpeg too maximize the data I have in each shot, choose manual focus, a low ISO and set up focus bracketing which is all shown in the video below.
To make the images more interesting I tried to pose the fly on a yellow flower as seen below.
I recorded the short videos below to show you a few of the shoots.
Below are some of the resulting images I created.
