focusing on insects

Post by hotrodder19 »

A question I proposed on this site prior to an illness. When setting up to go through a photo stacking exercise and you have an insect ( like most) that has undulating or bigger body than a head how do you keep all the body parts in focus as you move forward. If I take a strarting focus on say the body how does the stacking process then take in other parts and keep them in focus as you draw near to the insect etc. Or if I take my initial focus from a close part of the insect how then does the focus stay sharp as I move close to say smaller parts of the insects body ?
I look forward to be enlightened and reminded.

Kind Regards Russell Hodder
