RE: Focus Stacking Tutorial – Part 2 Preparing Insects
Thank you.
What camera and lens has your husband bought?
I hope he is enjoying using it and focus stacking. If he has any questions about focus stacking please ask and I will do my best answer.
Hi Brian,
I bought a used Olympus E-M1 I and a used Zuiko ED30mm f3,5 Macro. ....small budget :-)
Now I'm still testing the right software (Helicon Focus, Zerene Stacker), but for the rest I use Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. In the beginning I will try flowers and objects, the insects will come later.

Hi Stefan,
You made a good choice with Olympus. As you probably already know the E-M1 I has focus bracketing which you will find really useful for focus stacking.
As for stacking software you could try CombineZP which is free and from which I have recently seen some really impressive results. I did try it myself a number of years ago, but for me it crashed with anything more than about ten shots. Then I discovered Zerene Stacker which I think is the best.
Good luck and hope to see some of your images soon.
Cheers Brian
