Experimental - stacked dandelion straight out of camera
May 4, 2018 16:33:57 #
Thought I would share this image with the close-up group. I previously posted a picture of a stacked dandelion (see "EM 1.2 Focus Stacking experiment - one Dandy Lion" by GWZ on May 1, 2018) that was cropped and edited in PSE14. I am still experimenting.
This is an in-camera focus stack of eight (8) images using an Olympus EM-1 mk II with the Olympus 60mm f2.8 macro lens. It is posted straight out of the camera - no crop, no contrast, no color adjustments - no nothin'. I am impressed with the quality of the image.
This macro lens is very deceptive - it almost looks like a toy based on it's physical size, but it is a great performer. Sweet spot is between f/5.6 and f.8. This image is at f/7.1.
Enjoy.

Thank you to all who stopped by and looked.
I am hoping to find many other opportunities to use this focus stacking feature in the camera. There is one other related feature built-in to the camera, focus bracketing, that will allow up to 999 images to be taken. However, this bracketing feature requires the use of outside software (such as Helicon) to do the stacking for you.
My only frustration is that little bugs, etc..., simply do not understand that they need to remain still while they are being focus-stacked.
