Stop Making Sense
An assembly of tiny toy cogwheels for modeling, exclusively bought for the theme. I had once bought a small bag of steampunk cogwheels for a previous cogwheel theme but have put these away so securely that I couldn't find them on the fly. Well, back then, I also only had one box of MM props whereas nowadays... The good thing is that I know they are somewhere. This setup isn't as elaborate as the previous one (please see the first comment) but I liked its simplicity and focused on nicely arranging the plastic thingies and on a clear reflection (I'd placed the cogwheels on a black, glossy tile).
Focus stacking once again yielded the best results, and combining the 15 ORFs in Helicon Focus also gave me a more pleasant and more detailed-looking result than the in-camera stacked Jpg. Helicon method: B, R7, S3. The main light source was the natural light photo lamp from above.
HMM, Everyone!
