Having some fun with common items around the house.

Great creativity. The sharpness of #2 is essential to the impact IMO. #1 is just an ultra-cool abstract!

These inspire me. I have been couped up since falling last month and I need to shoot. Love the sea salt shot. What lens did you use? Think I will pour out my beach glass container and give it a go. Enjoyed all!

Thank you CSand. The Sea Salt was in a not so bright room with one flash high and pointed down. All shots were with a 105 macro with extender added. The shot is not blown up but if you do it without and extender you most likely will need to enlarge in pp. The last shot is using just a hand held small flash light as a light source in a dim room same lens.

Correct Linda on the having the sea salt sharp. I tried single shot with different settings f/3 - f/22 none look great. I used an extender, so not sure my final f/ setting but think it was 3.0-5.6, ISO around 100 using 22 stacked images assembled using Helicon Focus then cleaned up black in photoshop. Added a small amount color overall for a whiter look.

#1 & #3 are single shots.

#2 is spectacular! A powerful argument for stacking.
Thank you Straight Shooter. I use the stacking quite often but never mention it. This one was hard to see just where the focus was and Stacking got around that issue with great results.
