New to Macro Photography

Hey Guys,

I'm just getting started with Macro Photography. I mean like I just took the first shots today in my lightbox. I have Canon's ring flash and the 100mm macro lens (non IS).

Anyway, I was doing a lot of research on the way to process these and I came across focus stacking. I tried my hand at this technique and here's my first result. I know it's not perfect, but I think it's a start.

Thanks,
Danny

Excellent stack... you did better than most their first try.

However, the result is kinda flat and muted.

Adjust the white point, put an S into the curve, and bump up the saturation and sharpness.

Excellent first attempt at stacking! I'm still struggling with Macro and stacking has been a real pain for me so nice one!
