FLY... with extension tubes... focus stacking?

[tmjjk]

I have heard the phrase "focus stacking" and was wondering if someone could clue me in. I am using a canon xs with a 50mm 1.4 with some cheapy extension tubes. I am guessing focus stacking is taking multiple pics of the same image with different areas in focus and then combining them in post? C&C greatly welcome

Then ask sparky480 for additional help.

But you'll have a tough time focus stacking that fly. Unless it's dead. Or very, very still.
