Pixel Shift with Nikon NX Studio
Focus stacking with Helicon
I was asked by Nikon to test shoot the 3.0 FW with a special interest in the new ability to use Pixel Shift and Focus Shift at the same time.
Pixel Shift is an option where the camera moves the sensor during a series of captures. This series is then merged in the Nikon NX Studio software. In this case, the pixel shift option was set to the maximum capture option of 32 images. The camera exposed an image then moved the sensor… about half the width of a single pixel… and exposed the next one. For 32 images. Those 32 NEF (RAW) files were merged into one massive NEFX raw file that now has a resolution of about 180,000,000 pixels.
Focus Shift Shooting is an option where the camera makes an exposure then shifts focus to a different plane and makes another exposure. The cool part is that the camera is automatically setting the shift movement so that a series of images can be stacked on post in such a way to increase the depth of the PLANE of focus. This results in a subject the can have a nearly unlimited amount of the subject focus. Not just more depth of field, but depth of actual in focus.
The Z8 FW 3.0 is the first time anyone has offered both at the same time on a full frame professional camera.

Focus Shift + Pixel Shift
I only used about 50 Focus Shift Images each with a 32-image pixel shift were captured in camera. Each of the pixel-shift images were combined and then exported as a 16-bit TIF (1.09GB) each of the 50 TIFs were then brought onto Helicon Soft stacking software. The software automatically stacked the TIFs into a single file that had the desired part of the frame in focus. That stacked image was brought into Photoshop for resizing and final adjustments.
Neither the Birthday girl or I were that fussed for cake, but the kids on the other hand weren't having any of it!
Actually really nice (almost) vegan b'day cake.

The last time I will shoot this recently discontinued high resolution film from Adox, I tried to give it a proper goodbye with good tripod technique, mirror lockup, and my highest-resolving vintage lens. Looks a little like large format, doesn't it? But it's 35mm.
Was a Korean church, though we also heard rock bands practicing from inside it. The cross on the tower was more visible, it got damaged somehow. From what I've been able to gather the church is no longer used and was purchased by new owners.
Mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum) and ferns above the Eno River at Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area. Mayapple is challenging to photograph in that the blooms hang down under the umbrella-like leaf; I was lucky to find a perspective revealing three of them.
