71 -- heroic!! I love it!! I'm not usually a fan of solid black BGs but with so much going on here, it works very well. Outstanding detail and wonderful composition!
Hi Ron. Beautiful shot :S3:. Like the colors balance between BG and subject. As Diane told the details and composition are well done. Great light too. TFS.
Cheers,
Miro
Thanks, Miro and Diane.
Diane: One thing I like about stacking is how little effort it takes. Perhaps "heroic" could be applied to my overheating laptop. I understand we now need to be concerned about AI getting the better of us so maybe we shouldn't do anything to build its self-esteem. I mainly need to restrain myself from doing something silly which might interfere with capture or stacking--let the capture and stacking software and the camera do their work undisturbed. There was a curve applied in batch in ACR, no retouch in Zerene, and the studio setup and the deep focus eliminates a lot of work in PS. The full stack is twice as big, this was every other image stacked, I saw no difference so will save on batteries and HD space in the future if I can figure out how to get the capture software (Helicon Remote) to take steps twice as big as the default.
Hi Ron, I often do similar kind of shots. I really like it as details and composition are well balanced.
What can I say here, Ron - this is outstanding! I might prefer just a bit more room at the top, but that is a very minor point. :S3:
Wow, Ron. This really jumps out at the viewer in a spectacular fashion. Wonderful image and technique.
An amazing image--I love the detail focus of every single fiber .
Sorry Ron - thought I,d posted on this one. Usual standard.Great stuff but I love black backdrops on a subject like this. 70 layers seems a bit OTT though ? Still -it worked.
Cheers
John
Thanks, all.
John: It is a bit much, but I decided to try a few with the software (Helicon Remote) running the show, and it chose twice as many layers. As I said in the thread to another, if I stack every frame, or every second frame that the software chooses, I can see no difference, but at every third or fourth there are subtle differences (very). With the software doing the acquisition, it is just a matter of having enough HD space and waiting, no real work on my part.
Just wonderful Ron, all good points already mentioned.
Just Super! Love the tangle of curved lines. Sharpness goes without saying. (nice stack)
REally beautiful. Love the black bg that makes the flower stand out beautifully. Outstanding detail. BEautiful curves and structure.
