Not dead but I had cooled her down in the refrigerator to slow her down for the pictures!

No Larry, I didn't paint it, lacking both skill and patience. Just projected a photo of some wood grain texture onto myself. Sorry to disappoint you :)

Congrats on the Red. I would have sworn that was paint !!! ;)

Originally posted by roz: brilliant macro Larry .. loving all the details .. and congratulations on the 4th place .. :) and thanks for the info on the wasps .. i'm always eager to find out more about our little friends in the insect/arachnid/etc world .. and btw .. when i do a stack i submit all of them to the sc for validation .. but i dont think i've had more than 9 or 10 .. i'm interested to know whether you'd have to submit all 143 or just a few for sc to get an idea .. ?? .. and more questions .. lol .. what program do you use to stack .. ?? .. i used to do everything manually up till only a few months ago .. then i found bracketing on my camera .. talk about a game changer .. :)

Hi Roz,
Thank you for your comment. I downloaded the images into Lightroom. I export the chosen images as a category to the desktop and then import them into Photoshop where there is a process for photostacking the jpegs using "Scripts-load files into stack then Edit-Auto Blend. The final image is then edited as desired. There are tutorials in You Tube on how to do this. I used an inexpensive photo rail for taking the images although there is an in camera setting for this I have not tried but plan to soon.
I submitted 5 of the stacked images (about 1 every 25 captures) for validation. I think SC can get what they need from this. I will wait to see if they need any more information.
