Apilado 6 imgs / stacking

Evening in the Stacks 2015 held at the HCLS Miller Branch.

 

Before Mamen's dinner party the chairs were stacked on the edge of the room to make space for setting the tables. As some of you may know, I have a fetish for chair legs.

On the Canadian side near Skayway of Alaska, there are lots of these stacked rocks to greet your eyes.

sorry

i made lots

 

i got up at 5.30am whilst on holiday one day to go to the cove and stack. The peace and tranquility was immense.

 

i built a set of 18 stacks in perfect alignment across the cove. unfortunately 18 sacks in a single line don't photograph well. they looked bloody brilliant though. as you walked in and out of the alignment you either saw one or a mass of stacks.

 

inspired by the master bebalance www.flickr.com/photos/rocker/sets/72157602341391436/ i tried counterbalancing stones. it made for more delicately balanced stacks.

i am going to upload the rest of the photos later. there are far too many but feel i have to put them all up.

A focus stacked photo of a Broad-palmed Frog (Litoria latopalmata). I like the effect of focus stacking, but my camera cannot do it with the flash turned on. Therefore, I am left to try on frogs I find in the day.

Day 4 - 31 day challenge 2013. A 54 image stack (f8, 1/50s, flash) of a hundreds & thousands biscuit. The texture of the biscuit top is quite interesting. Used Zerene stacker again - PMax image.

1. WeMacro Focus Rail

Canon MP-E 65mm - Canon 80D - Yonguno YN24EX - f5.6 - 193 micron units - 21 stack

 

The WeMacro Focus Rail offers the finest degree of control. The lowest increment can be as low as 1 micron. Although this degree of control may be needed for magnifications of x10+ - for insects at 5x - 62 microns is ample. WeMacro provides a very useful DOF Estimates For Macro Chart. Using this method one sets the depth of field step size based on aperture and magnification. I just looked it up on the DOF Estimate for Macro Chart. For example, on an APS-C sensor using f5.6 at 2x magnification 193 micron step sizes are recommended.

 

Pros: Offers the greatest degree of control and maximum magnification - an incredible 1 micron

Cons: Heavy - great for studio but not to so practical for field stacking

 

2. Novaflex Castel Q Focus Rail

Olympus Zuiko 60mm - Olympus STF-8 - f5.6 - quarter mm increments - 16 stack

 

There is always the good old fashioned way of manually stacking using a focus rail. Although much slower than using an automated method it does provide the satisfaction of being able to see the focus with each turn of the focus knob. With care and attention manual focus stacking can be suitable for maximum magnifications of 5x.

 

Pros: Area of focus can be clearly seen on-the-fly and with each turn of the focus knob.

Cons: Slow - by the time the stack is completed there’s a good chance the subject will have lost patience and moved

  

3. Olympus E-M1 in Camera Stacking — Olympus Zuiko 60mm - Raynox dcr-250 - Olympus STF-8 f.5.6 - Differential 8 - 8 stack

 

By far the quickest method and great for taking stacks in the filed. The camera generates 8 jgs and from these a final RAW composite is made. Alternatively one can bracket up to 99 images and have these imported into stacking software, such as Zerene Stacker. The main drawback of this method is that you have to estimate the focus point by setting a ‘differential’ between 1 - 10. 1 represents the smallest of increments and 10 the largest.

 

4. Olympus E-M1 in Camera Stacking — Raynox dcr-250 - Olympus Zuiko 60mm - Olympus STF-8 f.5.6 - Differential 2 - 8 stack

 

As can be seen, a diff of 8 provides substantially more depth of field than a diff of 2 (where only the mouth parts of the dragonfly exuviae are clearly in focus

 

Pros: The lightest and quickest method of all. Great for stacking in the field.

Olympus E-M1 with Olympus Zuiko 60mm lens and STF-8 twin flash weigh just under 1 kilo. Compare this to my Canon 5D and Yonguno YN24EX on Canon Speedlite Bracket SB-E2 weighing in at a whacking 3 and a half kilos!

Cons: The amount of focus increments needs to be approximated from a differential of 1 - 10. One can’t set the focus starting and ending points as with the WeMacro Focus Rail nor see what’s in and out of focus - as with manual stacking.
