Hi All,

Seasons Greetings to all,

Finally had some time to get the camera out. See below the end result of a 15 Frame Focus Stack.

Through Trial and error I think I have finally worked out the finer details of the Nikon Focus Shift system. I wish they would give us a system like the OM focus stacking implementation.

As usual the garden shed is my studio. Note that I am using 2 light sources from the same side. The shed light was off when I was doing the actual photograph.

Please note the 2 second exposure time was just to show the image on the back of the camera. The Flash sync was 1/250th :)

I spent a lot of time removing dust and scratches from the shiny paper background but I am quite pleased with the end result.

Comments are always welcome.

Stunning image, I’m a bit new to the Stacking Images, as would try and get a better DOF with settings on the Camera & Lens, so f22 etc, Just treated myself to a Canon Mk ii Ringflash that fits my 100mm Canon L Macro Lens, so will be playing with it and seeing what I can do

Hi Steve,

Increasing the depth of field can work but will not on an image like this as there is waaaaayyyy to much space between the front and back at min focus distance. On my Nikon Z8 I used F9 with "4" as the distance between focus points to get this image.

Its a new learning curve for me, as still shoot Film, I try and get the image with the glass and the body, but its a journey that will be fun again, thanks for the reply
 
Was the lilly picked from your garden? Looks good.

No the Lilly was from a bunch that I gave my wife.

Thanks for the compliment.
