Small Sculpture, Yellow daisy
This is a photo stack of 20 images to create this much depth in a macro photo. Each shot with a slightly different focus point. The camera is locked down and then it is slid forward by tiny, controlled movements of macro focus slider. The copper wire sculpture is all of about 2 inches tall. The flower in the background is only about 3 to 4 inches away from the wire structure with is sitting in a bucket of water to help finish the scene.
Its hard to set this all up and everything is very small movements and if you accidentally kick a tripod leg of a light stand, everything gets changed in a big way. It can be very frustrating to work like this, but this is the result when it all comes together.
Shot using a Tokina AT-X 90mm f2.5 Macro lens and a 25mm Canon FD extension tube.
