I think after seeing Phil's macro work, I might as well delete my macro album.  It simply puts it to shame.   

I was looking at his work on Flickr, just fantastic stuff.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/goldenorfe/

Wonder if Phil would be willing to write an article on focus stacking, if we ask him nicely.

thanks for the warm welcome everyone

Phil, thanks that would be great,

I suppose we could add it here to start with, Photography techniques and how to's

And maybe port it to a proper article for the site afterwards, if that's ok with you of course.

  That'll be me I reckon, haven't a clue why I did that. lol..    I'll move it to the general Category for now, until we find a better place for it.    I think it was left over when we pruned the forum boards some time back. 

Thanks for pointing that out.   The Dewdrops tut would be great, thanks.
