•  Info Blood Red Darter (Sympetrum sanguineum), colored male in a garden in Bamberg on the branch of a faded Crocosmia aurea flower. Focus stack of 26 photographs. All by me Ermell -- Ermell (talk) 20:12, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Support Technically a focus stacking image from long distance is difficult, and the depth of field is important under this angle of view -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:10, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

• To clarify: That's not a quiz question; it's because the plant or at least its buds might merit its own category. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:13, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Support I always ask myself, how I can take 26 shots of a living animal without it moving in the slightest during this time. I have never had success in such cases. Can anyone give me a hint? --Llez (talk) 07:45, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

  No problem: The camera is able to do 120 frames per second. Slight moves by the insect or through wind will be compensatet by the stacking software. Fine tuning has to be done by hand. I usually take 30 images of one situtation so that I get about 150 images to work on. Ermell (talk) 12:40, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

  Thanks for the information --Llez (talk) 16:08, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Support I typically don't upvote images that already have many positive votes because it's clear they'll be highlighted. However, I've taken this type of photo before and know they can be challenging to capture. Still, I must admit I'd like to see the insect in closer detail. --Wilfredor (talk) 18:13, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

  The PoV isn't ideal for me Wilfredo, but you cannot expect 'closer detail'. It is very sharp. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:22, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
