Default A couple more examples of Focus Stacking

I've posted mostly photos of native orchids this summer, but here are a couple more examples of the technique described in previous threads called "focus stacking," used to gain greater depth of field in macro photography.

Dendrobium laevigatum on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Phalaenopsis Mini Mark 'Holm' on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Its a lovely little flower, isn't it? Not much into Phals except for some of the smaller species and violacea whose fragrance I love.

OK, Ron, you sold me I downloaded software and bookmarked that link to instructions. I can always use a cheat like this one

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Hi Ross,
I'm not one for "cheating." I don't do much by way of manipulating photos and pretty much post my pictures as they come from the camera. I make an extra effort to compose a good picture before I take it and don't even do much cropping. This I don't see as cheating since it simply combines several photos for the purpose of better dof. Even if it's cheating, however, I like it.

Hi Ron,
I'm following these macro photo threads closely. I just posted a few shots here on OB under Connies Orchid Stars- They are all macro stacked. I love this technique! I'm curious to see what you think of them.

I find it rather odd the way macro stacking seems to make the image "flat" and lacking in the sense of 3 dimensions. Is it just my eye?

Are they the three images in your gallery, Connie?

I guess I don't see the flatness, Connie. They're great photos in my opinion.
