I found this crane fly sitting in a clump of grass waiting for the rain to stop. Light rain and no wind allowed me to take a focal stack to attempt to get a DOF front to rear.

This image of walls coming tumbling down was shot handheld from quite far away with a cheap telezoom at its maximum focal lenght. Cropped about 30% and heavily postprocessed -much much more this time than I usually do. And the result still looks quite decent - I am constantly amazed what modern consumer cameras can do - all of them no matter what brand one is shooting with. But on the other hand digital technology has made photography also much more complicated than it used to be unless one developed films him/herself.
