White Orchid
Just some macro fun with an orchid I have in a flower pot.
My first attempt with focus stacking using Zerene Stacker.
Tried several times using Adobe Photoshop CS5 with completely useless results. Downloaded Zerene Stacker (trial) and it worked flawlessly on the first attempt. Go figure :-)
Not completely sure whether I'd prefer to have more light from the top, but I really like the dramatic light from the bottom. :-)
Strobist info:
Key: naked SB-800 with grid, directly below subject
Fill: SB-800, shoot-through umbrella, 45 degrees above subject, camera left
