I found this little guy attached to my father's house in Show Low, AZ over the summer. Moths being as slow as they are during the day, I decided to get my tripod to attempt to get a few shots to stack with natural light. I took twelve images from above the moth along the wall with my K-3 facing at a downward angle. I used Photoshop CS6 to stack the images that make up this composite. It took nine images with my D FA 100 WR set to it's closest focusing distance to get the whole moth in focus. This is because it's wings were angled at about 130° in relation to it's body.
Because my dirt cheap, ebay-purchased, macro focusing rail was set at a downward position, the weight of my camera and lens dragged the rail downward. My images were imprecisely measured. It took a whole lot of manual stacking, cloning, and blurring to make the stack look good.
I don't know what kind of moth this is, but I named it "Moose" for obvious reasons.
