Just sharing my attempt at focus stacking to attain more DOF at high mags. Tried CS5 but went with Photoaccute Studio as it required less cropping. Next time I will give myself more room to work with in CS5.
Used 11 images at about 1 mm focus adjustment on RRS focus rail.
6x with bellows and reversed 24mm. 6"@f22, ISO 400
Modified some of the masks to enhance the DOF but there are still some gaps. Needed more "slices".
So... since I have been scratching my head over the 3D Theme and I have dew drop refractions on my bucket list... decided to modify the "small worlds" polar coordinates technique and added a spot light and shadows.
My only excuse for this image is that I teach 6th grade and these last days of school are having an affect on me :eek:
All C&C welcome. Have Fun!:D
