Wow! Another world! Great shots.
I did a lichen walk a few weeks back with London Wildlife Trust, and was lent a jewellers eye glass to look at the various lichen. I thought what I saw was impressive, but these shots are a whole new level.

Thanks folks. x5 focus stacking outdoors was definitely a learning experience for me, quite different to doing x1 macro outdoors or even x5 indoors. Apart from anything else, even when you don't think there's any air movement what you see through the viewfinder is still moving slightly in the tiniest of tiny breezes. And then a cloud moves in front of the sun half way through the 100 shot stack... Still, there's plenty of lichen in the garden so lots of opportunity to climb up the learning curve. .

It's worth mentioning that I doubt very much I could have done these - or at least done them so painlessly - without the Castel-M rack. Steps between successive shots in each stack were 0.018mm (less than 1/50 mm ). The rack certainly wasn't cheap, but it has definitely opened up new prospects for garden photography .
Thoughts, comments etc. welcome as usual.
