Clover focus stack 4
Just playing around the other morning indoors. I picked a clover flower from the alley and put it in a glass and set up the tripod inside where there was no wind.
The image has been rotated as the flower kind of drooped over the side of the glass. I had run the flower under the tap to try to get some kind of semblance of dew, and took a few shots and the light was not very interesting, so I set up a small LED flashlight an aimed it at the bottom (which is now the right hand side.
The image is a result of 4 different focus settings, then loaded as a stack in photoshop.
I did make a simple selection of the background (which are my burgundy blinds) and darkened it to add a bit more richness to the background.
All in all I am quite pleased with how it turned out. The focus stacking was fun to play with, giving much greater depth of field than would have been possible without.
Shoot with an older manual focus 55mm micro nikkor at f 16
