    David, very nice images. Love the first one.
    I would focus stack the second one since it usually stay very still.

    Thank you Steven,i do 99% of my shots hand held and stacking without a tri-pod is nearly impossible,not that i have even tried it with one,yet!!The spider was still but the web was moving in the wind,but i agree it would of made a better shot

    David, I like these shots a lot. I can't seem to be able to get the spider to hold still.

    It's No 2 for me David there's a certain mystery about him. I love the way he's working on that web bottom left.

    Just sharing an image that was stacked with 3 pixs. All hand held.
    What I do is consciously edge my face forward a fraction at a time as I press the camera to my face. But it all depends on our little fellas if they decide to cooperate and whether my breath could hold

    I have tried the Zerene Stacker, but I find them it wanting or maybe I do not know how to utilise it to the fullest. So, I am now using CS6 layers to align, then merge them. Sometimes it does not do a good job, then I mask and brush it.
