Very much! Almost daily use since I got it.

I’ve had quite a lot of fun putting this together

Not my photo of the day today (that’s the windmill on my other account) but I had fun getting these this morning.

Thank you!

This was fun but handheld focus stacking with nothing to brace on is difficult!

Macro shot of a dead spider’s eyes, one bristled leg bent over the face, with strands of silk radiating outward.

Focus-stacked macro image of a dead spider, showing extended depth of field across the eyes, leg, and surrounding webbing.

I’m finding the stack gives technical completeness, but the single frame carries more visual weight.

Which do you prefer? Story or documentary?
