Macro and Flora Image of the Week for the week ending Feb 28th, 2014: Jerry van Dijk - More Amaryllis

[Daniel Cadieux]

Congratulations Jerry!

Following Johns suggestion, I tried my hand at focus stacking with the Amaryllis. You're looking at the stamen of one of the flowers. This is my third stack ever, so any suggestions for improvement are very welcome. At close inspection (at 100%) I already saw that I missed out on a few spots in the focus range....

D7000, 200mm micro, tripod, remote w. MUP, ISO-100, f/7.1, 1/200 sec, +1.3 EV.
ACR/CS6, stack of 6 images, stacked using the photomerge and autoblend functions in CS6.
