Nice read! Do you play much with stacking. I have some software to try it but haven't had time. Maybe this spring.

pretty interesting. thanks
take while to asorb that. Thanks
Great article! It gives you something to practice and try. Now if I could get the subjects to hold still long enough to achieve what's needed for focus stacking.

Focus-stacked insects are usually dead. Many stack-photographers refrigerate them to death, then arrange them in life-like poses.

I often wondered how they could get such sharp images. Another photography secret revealed. Doesn't help much when you're rummaging around for a mid-night snack. LOL

I have Helicon Focus but I hear that Zerene Stacker is better. I have not checked the price yet. I am just starting to play with it. My focus rail just came for Christmas :-D , but work has kept me to busy to play. I tried to do it with the focus on the lens, but had gaps it the focus.

I wish I lived closer to you. I would love to play with a calibrated focus rail.

Price wasn't to bad. I got a Manfrotto 454. It is about as cheap as you can go and still have quality. Can remember the price, but I think around $75.

I prefer Helicon, but maybe I should give Zerene another look-- just trial at this point.

I have not played with Zerene yet. So I don't know much about it. Just my friends seem to like it better. They are getting some great pictures out of it.
