Handheld Stack: Robber

Asilidae

Size: 18-20 mm

 

After many failed attempts I finally got a usable sequence of this robber at it's favorite hunting grounds on a decaying tree trunk. I must have scared it off at least 30 times but it persisted on coming back to almost the same spot.

 

Focus stacked from 12 handheld exposures in Zerene Stacker. Each exposure is 1/6s, f8, ISO400.

 

Lens: Canon MP–E 65

 

Lighting: Canon 270EX mounted on Manfrotto 819-1 hydrostatic arm and diffused through a DIY plastic diffuser.
