Cactus Flower: Taken with Pentax K-20D (14MP) Camera, smc-Pentax-A 50mm f/1.7 Lens. 5 image Focus Stack. Oh, I should point out these flowers open then wilt FAST usually before sunrise, so one has to shoot fast for a focus stack so the flower does not change and move much during say a couple minutes. If I only had my K-3 (24MP) then and my K-5 (16MP) was being cleaned professionally - I had persistent sensor spots. I would also like to state that I had been photographing Cactus Flowers from my yard for over two years to get one I truly like. This is the culmination of many shots of many specific flowers with several different cameras and lenses. I did make a ~ 8x10" Giclée Print, matted and framed on 11x14.
