Today’s post features more frosty images from Missouri’s first hard freeze, this past Saturday morning. The plant in today’s post is unidentified. It was captured in a large wildflower/bulb garden:
Combining 19 images, I also got this focus-stacked image:
The focus-stacked image is not as crisp as I’d like. There was a bit of a gently breeze and movement of the plant was inevitable during the 19-frame capture … the Achilles Heel of focus-stacking! :o)
Photographic Equipment Used:
- Canon 5D Mark 3 body
- Canon EF180mm, f/3.5 macro lens
- Bogen 3221 tripod with Graff Studioball SB-QR ballhead
- ISO 400
- Aperture f/3.5 (all images)
- Shutter 1/50 sec. (all images)
- The bottom image was made by “focus stacking” 19 individual images (each with a different focusing point on the flower), then combining them in Helicon Focus software
