So, since I approach Flickr from a right to left point of view, we will show the original unadulterated image first (previous image), followed by the software manipulation. Got kind of miffed at all the tricks the flowers played on me and definitely did not feel like going outside contending with the snow and cool temperatures. How long has it been since I played chess? Way too many years. Decided to take a shot at the neglected game and then after looking at the outcome which was not too bad and I kind of could have let go as an artistic shot, decided to try my hand at focus stacking because I had recently seen some great examples of that by some of you. Now, how to do that when all you have is PSE? Well, you look for plug-ins and there is, as it turns out, a really great one out there by the name of ElementsXXL. It’s not free but they allow you to use it for 14 days before you have to pay up. Right up my alley. So, really what took the longest here is finding the appropriate plug-in and the fact that I had to repeat my series of shots because I missed two in the first series. The result is based on a series of 8 shots one each for the appropriate focus on each pawn and piece behind pawn. How will I apply this newfound knowledge to bird shooting?

From my Red Water series...I found this holly leaf perched on a small rock in the stream. It reminded me of a coracle that had been pulled ashore. A tricky one to compose, shoot and process; this is focus stack of 2.5, 5 and 15s exposures.
Spent a week up at Binalong Bay. My most favourite part of the island. Perfect weather and plenty of frames taken - a few more beach pics will surface eventually.
This is an 'accidental' focus stack composite with the GRiii. I missed focus on the shell with the first frame but got it on the second but then I really liked that splash along the wave front in the first so I spliced 'em :-)
