Thanks Walt. Nice image of the forget-me-nots.
Spent a lot of time waiting for the breeze to calm down. I tried three different stacks, and got one good one. I find it harder to get good data with the K3III, probably due to the increased pixel density.
I seem to get more keepers with the K-1. Sure wish the III had an articulating screen. I was surprised how quickly I got used to one on the K-1.
I'm amazed how well Zerene does on images like this. It is my go to.
Affinity is an up and comer for stacking, but it lacks the editing tools that Zerene has. For stacks that don't require much editing, Affinity is a less expensive option. It does not control bloom as
well as Zerene, but the colors seem better. That is easily tweaked. Affinity will also control worm trails to a small extent, something Zerene does not do. A couple of weeks ago I revisited an old
tulip tree seed pod project to see how Affinity would fare. If anyone is interested in my comparisonshots, I'd be glad to post them.

Really like the lighting, Simon. Great job. I've tried to get close ups of the pistil's structure and have yet to get lighting that displays it well.
Thanks, everybody for posting. We've got a lot of talented folk here!
