Fooling around with my Micro-Nikkor 55mm f2.8 Ais on the D610 this morning, I captured this handheld:

That's beautiful Graham, and a nice combination of kit to capture it with as well!!!

Beautiful photograph. My Hosta only ever seemed to produce leaves. Nice leaves, but leaves.

Thank you, everyone. I appreciate the comments. I also thought that hostas only produced leaves to feed the slugs and snails but it seems that I was wrong.

Hi Graham
Thats a good photo, there is a program that stitches together Photos taken at different Focal points  so that you end up with a Macro shot in complete focus, I have just taken charge of my new Pentax 100mm Macro lens so will now be out taking even more photo's.
Here is a Cricket which kindly came to my studio (Garden) Processed in Lightroom 5 , Pentax K3 11,F10, 1/30sec, ISO800, Hand Held

Dougson (BTW, please go to your profile and enter your real name as a signature - we like to address one another in a friendly way) focus stacking is great if 1) the subject is static and not blowing in the wind and 2) if your kit is mounted on a sturdy support and 3) if the light is constant over the period that it takes to shoot all the required shots. I was handheld, it was windy and the sun was playing hide and seek with the clouds. I could have used a higher ISO and smaller aperture but then noise would have intruded. Reducing the noise in post would have destroyed the fine detail that I was after in the staymens. I also prefer the DOF as it is here, so that the main flower is slightly soft.
