@Troy: it’s been a poor year for macro outings so I’ve just ducked out into the back garden whenever I could; I’m still channelling you and Andrew!
@Mike: if I am hand holding and the insect is stationary and there is little or no breeze to sway the foliage, I’ll take several shots by selecting different AF points on the insect and then I use Layers and Layer Masks in Photoshop to blend the in-focus parts of each frame.
