Dicentra cucullaria, AKA Dutchman's Breeches, along the Eno River. While this early spring wildflower is common across large sections of the US, we are near the southern end of its range here. There's a very large stand of it here, in a cooler microclimate created by a steep north-facing bluff.

A map of all the events that affected this tree, right on its skin, which will one day be shed and consumed by the organisms that provided it the fertility to live in the first place. The same analogy extends to every living thing.
A few pixelshifted shots here all stitched with ICE. One of the very best falls, never fails to impress, pictures do little justice.

First experiments using pixel shift mode to enhance detail.

This comes from a lens that apparently is not yet represented on flickr (nor have I found photos elsewhere on the web). Schneider-Kreuznach’s Xenon-Zirconia is a series of super high resolution line scan lenses with an image circle of 82 mm, no visible distortion and no CA at the optimal magnification. There are several versions each optimized for a specific magnification. My institution just purchased the 1:1 version for making 35mm slide and negative copies with the Pentax K-1 in Pixelshift mode.
This is a quick test, shot at f/8 (a bit beyond the optimal f-stop of f/4.8) and stacked from 16 non-Pixelshift frames in ZereneStacker (DMap algorithm).

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.
