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.

I continue experimenting with focus stacking

In this session of shots (33 shots) I connected the flash

Week 38 - Technical : Focus Stacking

I had the opportunity to visit an orchid greenhouse and decided to test focus stacking there. This one is done with 6 pictures, with tripod, at F2.0. I changed the focus manually, and it was hard doing more that 6 pictures.

Stacking done with Picolay (I don't have Photoshop). The border of the flower is a bit strange, don't kow if it's the pictures or the software.

I also took a bunch of flower photos.

I used focus stacking with this one to achieve wider DoF.

Pollen on a nasturtium anther. 26 images shot with Canon 50D and MP-E 65mm at 5x using 60 micron steps with a Cognisys StackShot and stacked in Zerene Stacker DMap. Front lit with MT-24EX @ 1/16 with diffusion gels, backlit with Jansjö LEDs.

These images where created by fairly new method, called FOCUS-STACKING. Each image is basically a "stack" of couple dozen (or hundred) images photographed with different focal distance where all focused areas are combined into one image.

Olympus digital camera, Focus stacking

I took 13 photos (using a tripod) of this scale model.

With each photo I focused a tiny bit further away

Then I merged all 13 photos in Photoshop, so the scale model is sharp from back to front.
