and I love seeing the clip for the process :-)
in this case, you are right, the stacking works better for this subject. it is good to see the comparison. |

yes to both Carol and Stuart. I think if I bring more than one shell in focus/same focal plane and then crop a little it will pop the shells out of the photo but leave the unfocused bkgrd still there. for macro set up I is between moving the shells vs moving the camera. I was happy to get anything in focus to submit but could definitely work more on this set up. and my new box hold promise. thx |

I'll ask, was it alive or dead - made a difference for you in photographing it. Glad you did not stack... as Stuart will tell you I like to see what the unstacked looks like. I think this is a great example of what the macro lens does. the serial segmentation highlights macro. I love seeing the focused and unfocused - very appealing to me and looks great in this photo. the curve to segmentation is great. flash source is obviously on the curve - assummingly could be fixed [not needed for us at this point]. I think rotation i.e.head top vs bottom with unfocused parts trailing from different directions will work any way you choose.
also is Affinity your preferred program - does it have features that Adobe suites do not have.... stacking is here - when I want to stack do I have to leave Adobe photoshop to do it?

Keith, gorgeous flower and shot of it. before I read your description I was testing myself and did not think it was 1:1 [not that I care, just testing myself]... there are many points of focus to be 1:1 it seems. beautiful veins/capillaries in the leaves. the white parts like purple zebra stripes jump out at me along with the yellow - that is where my eye goes. there are the 4 different angles to the leaves and their folding is just gorgeous - good eye to pick this type of flower positioning. minimal background to see but one of my favorite colors is purple and green which you have there. |

Hi Stuart, you know me - I am always wondering what it looked like unstacked. what I see - lets see if that is what you wanted me to see... wider/bottom part of the leaf is more dominant, better focus or illustration of veins/capillaries in the leaf. The red dots become visible and the "hairs" on the edge are minute but visible. Red/green colors are lovely. the larger vein are nicely repeating vs capillaries ar randomly drawn through out. straight down shot... did you experiment with other angles to see the veins pop out? an aside, i appreciate your dec comments I have to keep going back to read them - I will use them in the future as I am dealing with macro. |

I really like this insect shot. so much of it looks in focus to me - head, one side of body and top segment of each of the legs, part of the antanea. I am always looking for that focus in macro and what makes a pleasing picture... and without stacking. the bit unfocused on far side is totally acceptable and nice background. this work for me - I feel the graininess/texture of the whole body. I assume the f9 gives more focus. your white background - what are you doing here... parts look like white sand then the texture part looks like wood??? |
