thanks Leonard - great images!
Will give this a try...

Canon claims to have electronic shutter capable of up to 1/16,000 on both the new M6 mkII and the 90D - I am not familiar with other recent Canon models with electronic shutter, but would like to move to fully electronic shutter from my current (and tired) T4i. From what your saying the M6 mkII is n...

Rik, Not sure how qualified I am to answer your question. I do have HSS activated though if that provides any useful insight, and the Flashpoints are operating through an R2 MarkII TTL transmitter. Frankly, lighting has been the biggest struggle I have come up against; I spent quite a bit of time re...

It seems that increasing the shutter speed has helped for me (e.g. to 1/3200 or above).

Those are some fantastic shots - thanks for posting.

Lucky find on the underside of a leaf - recently hatched caterpillar held still long enough for this shot to be captured. 83 images stacked with zerene pmax Lomo 3,7x lighting with 3 Janso leds diffused through a pingpong ball. http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/6530_catapillar_eggs_20190...

Fantastic find! Very interesting.

thank you rik, this is very helpful. I will spend some time studying the information that you provided.
As always, your willingness to help and expansive knowledge is very much appreciated!

Hi, when stacking (using Zerene; DMap) images of subjects that have elements protruding in front of others (e.g. the wires protruding in front of the blue housing of this ethernet cable), I am struggling to deal with the associated blur (i.e. to the left of the orange and light salmon colored wires,...

love this - very nice. well done.
