[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 243246, member: 9240"] [B][I]2014-007:[/I][/B] [B][I]Learning Expedition #1 - Focus Stacking[/I][/B] Way too cold and way too busy today to bother to try and go out and shoot something. But I did get my focus rails yesterday, so I decided I needed to try and do some focus stacking. What did I learn? Focus rails aren't made for larger objects like this - or at least I can't figure it out yet. I seem to get more image-to-image size variation with the rails than I did with just turning the focus knob. So, here is attempt #2 of 2. You can see I missed at least two stripes across the middle. I only shot 5 images and definitely not ready for Carnegie Hall, but hey, it's an experiment on a cold day and at least I learned something. LOL Shot with my D600 and Sigma 105mm, merged in CS6. A little add'l post merge cleanup in Viveza 2 and Lightroom. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]65797._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
