Tiny Blossom stack

White is difficult to digitally capture. Found this blossom on a bush near my house. Used speedlight at 1/64 power. Blossom measure 15-mm diameter.

Right after I posted my answer I went to the Zerene FAQs. They seem to prefer D when dealing with tiny hairs and bristles. That could be Martin's reasoning. You've both used it way more than I. I'm still using a 30-day trial, and I haven't been able to collect much because it's been raining virtually every day here, especially on my days off. Funny how that happens.

Well, I couldn't even recall the differences between P or D :oops: so, it would seem we are both learning. Maybe find something around the house that has a lot of texture and practice on that.They seem to prefer D when dealing with tiny hairs and bristles.

Why not let it run both P & D (align & stack all, both) and compare them?
I find one or the other usually seems like a better stack. I don't know why though.

Yeah I'll have to do that. From the reading on the Zerene site, it seems that "one size doesn't fit all". In other words, it depends on the photo.Why not let it run both P & D (align & stack all, both) and compare them?

Your stack looks good to me including the white colour, your flower stacks always look good. I assume you used a rail for this with so many slices.
Just a question regarding problems attached to shooting the colour white. Whereas, normally it would be necessary to increase the aperture in order to stop the camera turning white to Middle Grey, would you do this when preparing a stack or would other factors come into play? Maybe, it could be done in pp.

I agree with you. I think it is increased by the use of electronic flash as well. You did well. Using a softbox seems to help.
