Photography:
The camera takes a series of shots (20 photos in this case) starting from a selected focus position (Foreground) and continuing toward infinity.
The camera must be set on a Tripod,
Exposure must be locked on the first image taken.
Finally, all images must be checked to ensure that all subjects in the scene are in focus and adequately covered.
All 20 photos were loaded into an application to merge a single image with all subjects in the desired depth of field in sharp focus.
For Macromondays "Star" theme. Each star is about 1/2" in circumscribed diameter. The stars are on a charm bracelet. The background is 3 home grown tomatoes and a yellow zucchini, one of the advantages of doing table top photography in the kitchen.
Illumination was mostly on camera diffused flash with a little daylight filtering in. This is an 11 layer focus stack.

The handle on my pickleball paddle is getting quite worn. I probably would have replaced it by now, but I haven't played yet this year due to the coronavirus lockdown.
Macro Mondays: Handle theme
For those who may not have heard of pickleball, it's a game played with a paddle using a plastic ball with holes. It's played either indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court with a slightly modified tennis net. It's said to be one of the fastest growing sports in America. With more than 3 million active players in the U.S., the game posted a 650 percent increase in numbers over the six years ending in 2019, according to one report that I read.
The sport got its name because the guy who invented it had a dog named Pickles that would chase the ball and run off with it when the game was being played.

Normally, I wouldn't even post this photo because I don't like the composition. The moth is framed way too tightly but I absolutely love the scales on this moth. It almost looks like it has feathers. I've never seen one like this. So, I decided to get in closer than I normally would to capture as much of the various scale details as possible. I photographed this beauty at Kinder Farm Park in Maryland on 7/4/22.
