Focus Stacking

This is the first successful focus stacking attempt since I attended a stacking course. I found the fly myself and did the shooting and editing in Zerene Stacker. It was fun indeed.

3-D Cross-eye stereogram

each pic focus stacked from about 4 shots

stare at the pair of pics, slightly defocus your eyes and cross them unitl an image appears in the middle, then relax your eyes to stabilise the 3D image.

Check my IG for more shots: macro.rius

Just trying out a proper macro lens for the first time. Helicon Focus used for the focus stacking.

Bug about 5mm long. On my car as usual :)

Stayed still long enough to allow me a 3 shot focus stack

They always seem to be looking at you when take pics of them- think it's even smiling :) Body length about 8mm. Focus stacked from 2 pics. Taken around 1:1

Getting the most out of my Valentine's flowers and practicing macro/focus stacking. I think my eyes must be going bad because manual focus is so hard for me. This is from five images with camera on a tripod and I still missed in spots. Its a work in progress ;-)

When we moved in to our house our friends brought us this plant as a house warming gift. I have no idea what its called but it has these interesting flowers every so often. I tried focus stacking with 7 images - not entirely successful but it was fun!

Looking for subjects whilst waiting for a few more insects to appear, I had a go at focus-stacking a Hellibore from the back garden.

28 images taken with 50D and MP-E 65mm at 3x using 0.12mm steps with a Cognisys StackShot and stacked in Zerene Stacker. Lit with MT-24EX @ 1/32 with diffusion gels.

I shot 16 images, each focused at a slightly different point, and then focus stacked these within Photoshop.

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 image of a fringed tulip. There is some blurring around some of the outside which I am not sure if the flower moved during the time I was taking slices. The inner fringes and stamen are nicely produced.

Amaryllis (hippeastrum) are quite spectacular and are also a great subject for experimenting on photographically, in this case with focus stacking using flash. They are large enough to prevent everything being in focus at once with a single exposure, so a stacked result is very beneficial.

Photo is composed by 30 individual images. By means of focus stacking, a greater depth of sharpness is created.
