My first focus stacks! Three hoverflies!
1

I used my old FS-converted D5300 with a Hoya UV/IR filter on the front- there was still a fair bit of light leak though, so it's not as sharp as I'd have hoped (a lot of IR got in.) The lens is a reversed 50/2.8 EL-NIKKOR without extension tubes. Sadly I don't have a fancy setup to get multiple aligned images/slide the camera, but I did my best!

Some sort of hoverly- unsure of the species, not knowledgable on these things! Three images stacked for this one (the masking is quite sloppy...)

Another hoverly- once again the species eludes me. Four images stacked here (again- sloppy masking! xD)

Bonus: not stacked, just a test shot I got on another specimen- Volucella inflata I believe.

This is my signature. It is a nice signature. It just wasted your time!
