Got myself a Canon 100mm f/2.8 IS USM macro lens and I've been having a little play with it the last few weeks.

Woah, this is really impressive! May I ask how much did your equipment cost? Most likely I cannot afford one right now, haha

Thank you

That camera and lens are probably about £3k ish

You don't need to spend a fortune to get good results though.

52 images stacked, taking 1 image for every 1mm of travel on a focus rail...
