used the bracketing feature on my camera which i've got set to take 9 photos when i press the shutter .. and then Luminar Neo to focus stack them ..
game changer from when i took many photos .. focusing on different parts of the insect .. and then took forever to focus stack them manually in photoshop .. 🙂

Doesn't get much better than this when it comes to high-contrast macro. I'm sure the technology helps tremendously, but the practiced skill and shaping of the light are all still very much the work of a seasoned master.
oh yes -- I'm not sure this one needs a longer look, it's pretty cool as is
ok - second look time. The only thing that changed for me on second look is wondering how you got the DOF. I'm a bit confused by it. The DOF on the spider doesn't seem to match the DOF on the background. I'll be curious what camera/lens/settings you're using. But fascinating shot.
