69 Jul 19 Comment Thanks Pierre,
It was fairly early in the morning and fortunately, there was little wind. As you know, the wind is the bane of focus stacking.

69 Jul 19 Comment Thanks, Mervyn. I too think having four works here because of the diagonal alignment and different orientation of one flower. Jul 10th
69 Jul 19 Comment Geoffrey,
Get some great pics on your next outback adventure. What fun it must have been to be in the water with these playful seals (and no sharks).

69 Jul 19 Comment Brenda,
Shooting from an unstable small boat is always a challenge and using the higher ISO and shutter speed certainly was a good choice. I like the reflection and the implied movement of the bird withdrawing from the water. The background is a bit busy.

69 Jul 19 Comment Donna,
Excellent composition of these two Herons. The foliage on the right nicely frames both. The subjects are very sharp and clear. I like the contrast in colors between the two and the extended wings of both birds.

69 Jul 19 Comment Candy,
Lovely composition. This is definitely a competition worthy entry.

69 Jul 19 Comment Pierre,
I like the strong side lighting which highlights the color in the wings of the butterfly. I agree that it would be challenging to handhold such a long lens and get everything perfectly sharp but I am sure the higher ISO and shutter speed helps with that.

69 Jul 19 Comment Mervyn,
A lovely well-focused image of this hungry caterpillar. I like seeing both the eaten and to be eaten leaves.

69 Jul 19 Comment Brenda,
My sister teaches at Purdue and lives in West Lafayette. Thanks for identifying the flower and your comments. I often focus stack when shooting flowers. Of course, the camera must be on a tripod. I typically use a macro lens but that is not required. I take several images focusing on various parts of the flower(s), usually going from near to far away. Then I use PS to align and blend (stack) the images. Usually, there is a small bit of cropping required if the images don't align perfectly. It is best to pick a day when it is not windy since any movement in the subject makes photo stacking difficult.
