[QUOTE="nickt, post: 705168, member: 4923"] Give it a try. I shoot a lot of bugs and they are often on the move. The high aperture and flash give me some wiggle room for a handheld shot. There is some defraction from the high aperture but its a trade off for a quick handheld shot. You will be on a tripod, so maybe a medium-not-too-high aperture plus some distance will work for you. You could try a zoom lens too from across the room. You can make things look nicer in LR. The new texture slider is interesting, haven't played with it much yet. I mentioned above that you can focus in live view because you can zoom in and get it better. Just be aware that if you change aperture after entering live view the new dof won't be reflected on the screen, so just take the pic and check dof. The aperture will stop down correctly for the shot. Some of the high end Nikons have the mechanics to change the aperture while live view is in progress. Nothing against stacking, its a great tool and will likely give you the best results. Hopefully you end up with photoshop too and can play with that as well. [/QUOTE]
