I had to look this plant up as I had never heard of it! Did a nice job on the focus, how many images did you use? I have tried focus stacking a few times....need to remember to try again.

Thanks, Judy. I think I only used about 4 images.....I did like the result though. Now you make me want to using more.

Hi blackmutt & hmca (and anyone else interested for that matter  ),
There are many free and paid DOF calculator apps available. I have one on my phone I downloaded from Google Play.
They all calculate Depth Of Field for a given aperture, focal length and subject distance from the camera. If you know the DOF for your set up, it can help you determine how many images you will need.

What beautiful rich colours.
Shame that it is too technical for me.

This image is exquisite - an excellent example of focus stacking in every day photography. I've posted a tut and images for everyone to try. |

I prefer not to go that route. First, I do not have a smart phone and the way I did it, works for me. Camera and a tripod and I am set! |
