Description
I can't wait for spring flowers. The camera is the Olympus E-3, the lens is the Sigma 150 f:2.8 macro. The camera and lens are mounted on a Proxxon Micro Compound Table KT-70, the micro table allows 1mm per handle rotation movement. The flower is held by a Samona Magnetic base with a small plastic clamp. The lighting is provided by 2 9 volt mini floods, 6500k in 2 goose neck lamps from Canadian Tire, mounted on each side of the holding clamp.I took 10 shots at .5mm increments, ISO200,F8,1/250 manual focus. The stack was aligned and processed in Zerene Stacker setting (P). Resulting composite image was re-sized and watermarked in Faststone Image Viewer.

I love the almost metallic feel that you have captured in these flowers. very nice.
It's pretty cool how you managed to remove the distance blur with that program. it turned out very nice.

thank you Lewis, yes it is almost like magic when you load 10 or 20 mostly blurry images in and as the process moves along the image gets sharper until it just pops.
Take care

thanks, the photo has increased depth of field because it is a composite of 6 or 8 shots taken at different focus points from the front to the back. The shots are put together in a program called Zerene Stacker. There can be no movement of the subject or the image will blur.

You're welcome, Mark. This is very interesting, and your photos are the first I've came across it... to my knowledge. I love the effect, and you do it so well.
