And does it on the cheap to boot, quite remarkable. I've favourited a few of his flickr shots. I can't see any pictures of Marco though.

Thanks for the link Shaun - fantastic photos.
Certainly made me realise what rubbish shots I take and that I've a hell of a long way to go yet.

That's really cool.
Does anyone have any suggestions for focus stacking software? I don't have Photoshop and don't plan on buying it anytime soon ...

Zerene Stacker is excellent (on a Mac).

Quite ironic when you read the Youtube comments:And does it on the cheap to boot, quite remarkable.

Pretty sure he's using a K200D with a reversed 28mm manual prime

Two things are a vital part of his success.
First, he has an apparently home-made but clearly very effective flash set-up. Ample light, as ever, is vital.
Second, he says take LOTS of pictures. I imagine he throws away 99.99% of his shots.
And, of course, he's fanatical. Utterly focussed.
But it's nice to see confirmed the old adage that technique trumps gear, every time.
