Re: Focus stack of an alstroemeria flower (42 images)

Nice photo, but your setup sounds sooo complicated.  Can't you move the plant to a sunny window and use natural light?   Also, one of the first things I did when I started shooting macro stacks was ditch the rail.  I found an app that allowed me to manually step the focus of my lens.  Have you looked for one?

For stacking, rail vs changing lens focus is a complicated topic.  Suffice to say that the experts I know say there's no right answer, and I've been happy with my results for years...
