Twisty Curl Stacks
Feb 2, 2015 20:31:11 #
An online acquaintance recently asked me to join a Twisty Curl macro challenge. Idea was to take macro/closeups of subjects that twist and curl. At first I was skeptical of participating but by the end of the challenge I found I rather enjoyed myself. Below are four of my entries. All are focus stacked. Three were done by changing focus on the lens and the fourth was done with a Zeiss fine focus microscope block moving the camera. Two were done in the field and two on a tabletop rig.

I find challenges tend to lead to new and interesting areas as you have shown here. Great shots as usual William.
