This photo and the following two amaryllis shots are my first experiments with "focus stacking"--taking multiple shots of the same subject with varying focal points from the closest point to the farthest point, then merging them into one image to maximize the depth of field.

Practicing focus-stacking

Tow Mater always makes me smile. So lacking creative spark for this theme I grabbed this matchbook size model to shoot his funny face. Macro Mondays make me smile theme.

8 layer focus stack!!

Harmonia axyridis 4th instar larva

I need a higher-quality mirror, but I thought this a good way to show the little face under there in addition to the beautiful back. Interesting to think that this beetle can't see anything going on above it - maybe just a bit of motion in its peripheral vision through the transparent hood.

This represents 32 pictures covering a 1.8mm field of view of a crystal rock section of Spencer's.

 

I connected a stepper motor to the fine focusing knob on the Microscope with a bit of clear tubing - shaft to shaft - and then used a Gigapan control board to move the focusing up to capture 32 images.

 

I had to trigger the photos manually, and tell the Gigapan unit to advance to the next frame.

 

I now know how to remote trigger the Canon T2i camera, so getting focus stacking to be automatic, with automatic triggerig of the camera, is my next step.

After that I'll move on to xy stage automation

Materials from a school project in Evesham. Photos taken by students through the town and along the river were merged using the Focus Stacking tools in Photoshop. They were then printed out for use in a giant collage.

Focus stacked in Element 12 with plug-in.

using two images should have been 3 as mid ground is not sharp. Still its a economic way to get focus tacking in Photoshop Elements. using smart phone to control camera on low tripod. with out having to get on my knees I could adjust position of camera on tripod looking at phone screen.

Egg of the butterfly Pararge aegeria with the caterpillar visible by transparency. The caterpillar is completely compressed within its eggshell but it is nevertheless quite active making this set of pictures unsuitable for focus stacking... Each picture has been taken at 2-3 seconds intervals and on different focal plans.

Look at original size to see the animation :

Male spider showing pedipalps. So hard not to blow out these white hairs. Also maybe less is more...too deep a stack makes it all a bit busy.
