No. of photos taken : 15, step : 1

Very effectively done, Stephen!

Bug season is beginning where I live, and I want to try more focus stacking of macro subjects when the bugs come back.

Great shot. Good photography techniques especially in handling flash.
Although bug season is also beginning in my living place, there are fewer and fewer bugs because of the urban development
