Martin ran an excellent session on focus-stacking. Sadly my camera wasn't playing ball, and reeled off three sets of 100 images all exactly the same. More practice needed...

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.

Must be the oddest one I've ever taken. The dead bug is stuck to a young leaf of a rhododendron but I suspect a strand of spiders web is involved as well. I have not rotated the pic :)

spring is almost here:-)))

about 60 images stacked in Zerene.

Lichen with focus stack. A beginner in Macro and stacking and possibly overkill but this is 40 images blended in photoshop.

While color-correcting the interior of the beet I sat with it, freshly sliced (it fades with exposure to air), next to me. Of course who knows if your monitor is calibrated the same as mine, but the color is dead spot on correct on my screen.

The glass is of the semi-frosted variety that's used as non-glare glass in picture framing. I painted on the smooth side (so I can wash it off later... I hope) and placed a soft box underneath, then lit the yam and golden beet from above. It's a lot of orange, I know. This was more of an experiment than anything. I think that if I try this sort of thing again I'll put dilute paint into a spray (mister) bottle and use it as a makeshift airbrush.

Pixel peeps can verify see how painfully focused and oversharpened this is here.

This orchid on my windowsill has just started to open- it produces masses of these small flowers in sprays. The flowers are just under 3cms tall. Focus stacked from 3 shots.
