My first attempt at focus stacking

[SoCarRob]

My extension tubes came today. This is my first attempt at macro and with focus stacking. CC is welcome! Canon Rebel T5 f4.5, ISO 640, 1/50 Kit 18-55mm lens with extension tube. No effects, only stacked, and the original for comparison.

Good attempt did you use anything to support the camera or was it free standing?

I had the camera mounted on my tripod. Handheld would be extremely difficult to pull off I would think.

It is possible - look at this
(not me sadly)

I'd love to see the outcome of that!

While I'm not familiar with the lens used in the video, I couldn't see any focus changes being made. Were they so small that they can't be seen, or how was he changing the focal point?
