i tried some photo stacking on the flowers. thats where i used multiple shots,each with a different focus area and then combined them for some extra depth of field.
more ofton than not even the slightest breezes made the photos un-usable for stacking.. i must have taken hundreds today. maybe a dozen sets were usable.

ASeveral of the macro photographers over at the Canon forum (below), use focus stacking for the real close macro shots of insects and such. For example, one that shows the eye and head of a fly, since the DOF is already razor thin. So they focus the lens to the nearest section of the subject and take the shot, then focus the lens a little further out and take the next shot, and the next, and the next until the whole head can be in focus when all the photos are combined. There are a couple of applications that focus-stack the photos automatically for you if you don't want to do it manually. The best result is when the head is in focus, but the background is not.
