Much to my suprise there were some dewdrops around this morning. Tried shooting some at 4:1.

Testing focus stacking from hand-held shots. A couple of bits missing in the front but with a bit more care perfectly doable.

I’m playing around with the focus stacking technique, which I learned at Hunt’s Photo in Melrose, MA.

This one photo was a combination of 16 shots taken at 16 different focus points to get nearly everything in focus.

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.

This is a 9 image 'Focus Stack' composite image.

I tried to do focus stack but it didn't camouflage good on the edges, so I cropped the photo :/

My first trial of focus stacking. On the way to this image I tested several programs which should do focus stacking automaticly. But the results have been quite pure. I have tried ale (a linux shell program), Hugin and CombinZM which had produced the best results. May be my image was rather heavy stuff.

I implemented this image with a conventional layer mask technique with GIMP 2.6.6 which is much simpler to handle than Photoshop. The stack contains two photos. The background image is the one you find under autum_sunflowerfield_01.

I shot the images with a Nikon D80 and a AF NIKKOR 35-70 mm 1:2,8 D lens on a tripot. Exposure: 1/40 sec, Diaphragm: f/22.0.

Ever wondered where the money goes?

this collection of batteries about 24 months worth from various remotes, Wii, iMAC (we have 2) keyboards and mice, grand kids other toys, petzel head lamps etc.

I use rechargeables in my speedlights and some other devices.
