Thanks, Gloria. I'll give it a try.. Also will check whether I have made any error in my image merge process. |

Hi Pat,
Thanks for the suggestion.
Nikon D850 automatically take the focus shifted shots (based on the selected number of images and intervals). Then we can load them into PS to align the shots in each layers.
For merging HDR shots, I use (File - Automate - Merge HDR Pro). |

Hi Pat, great result from your focus rail stacking. Amazing image with in-focus all around. Just wondering how many steps of shifting did you take, and where did you start and end? My previous results were not great.. Would like to try similar rail stacking again myself. Thanks. |

Carol, love this great close-up shot of the bee at work. I would also crop it to leave more room on the left of the bee, like your 2nd cropped image. I understand that the environmental factors may not allow you to maintain smaller aperture so to allow more dof. So you chose the focus point to the eye & head.. Something I'll keep in mind. Thanks. |

Hi John, welcome to the group!
Good shot of the orchid. Most part of the flower is in focus. I echo Stuart.. suggesting to darken or clone out the background green leaves and the top right portion of flower. My first impression is that the flower is too right at centre.. Maybe experimenting different ways of cropping (tighter or using 1/3 rule) may give different perspective.. Just my own opinion.. Not sure it's all correct. |

Stuart, fantastic unexpected result of the fly. I love the overall picture of the weed and the blurred background. It is all up to the author what the main subject the author likes to lead the view to. With the in-focused fly, it is natural to direct our attention to it.. In this case, maybe a tighter cropping to the fly would please most viewers. Very good shot overall. Thanks. |

Hi Gloria, a very good try and nice result. Amazing you can have the scorpion lying on its back. Yes, I think focus stacking should have given you a better result than focus bracketing.. |

Hey Margaret, it's a very good outcome of your shot of crystal.. I don't have microscope attachment to my camera.. May be something to play with in the future. Thanks for sharing. |

Hi Carol, I was trying to set the initial focus point closer to the lowest of the view screen, but limited by the camera. I ended up putting the first focus point at the front edge of the flower pot.. It proves to be not so ideal.. as it's about the centre of the image.
I really appreciate your suggested PSA Journal article on Still Life photography.. I definitely will look it up and study.. love playing with lighting (and light painting is something I like to tryout as well). Thanks again. |

Good idea, Margaret. I was struggling with how to frame the plant.. Will try and see. Thanks. |

Thanks, Stuart.
I was also wondering why the flower pot was so blurry.. thought 15 images should be sufficient for such small object. Ahh, you have a good point that maybe I should have use wider interval steps so it can cover the whole image (or maybe additional number of stacking images).. Will try again.
Yeah, the lightbox is so small I had to squeeze to the very edge of the picture frame border.. leaving into a tight picture. |
