I found a dead Red Paper Wasp in my washing machine last night. Decided to see what I could do with the focus stacking built into my Olympus EM-5 Mk 2 and 30mm Macro.

My staging sucks but the camera/lens combo did pretty good. I got stung by one of these a few months ago. It hurts.

thx for the nice words!
but, TBCH, 'old photos' can't compare technology-wise to current day!
ISO 12,800 in several of those shots! (old photos were, at best, ISO 400!)
f/2.8 lenses, image stabilization, noise-reducing software, photoshop toning, etc., etc.!
nevertheless, those old 'guys' taught us a lot!
