Spring Beauty
Lens: Sigma 70/2.8 macro Camera: K10D Photo Location: Eno River, NC

"Spring Beauty" is the common name for Claytonia Virginica, a beautiful little flower that appears in moist woods in early spring. I've done many standard, available-light shots of these; lately I've been playing with off-camera flash, and here I've added focus stacking. Handheld stack as I don't yet have a macro rail. As I recall this was done at 1:1.1 magnification. f/6.7, eleven images.



This is a blend of two different types of output from ZereneStacker. PhotoAcute was less successful with this one.

Another stack, a fungus I haven't identified. f/4.5, eight images (natural light). PhotoAcute was acceptable here, but the ZereneStacker output was again better. I've bought a license.

Great images here Jeff, sharp focus and color. Looks like your experiments with lighting and stacking is working well.

Love the spring beauty shot especially but fungi are hard to resist. Lovely shots both.
