Now I have to show my babies too ... not every baby looks beautiful I guess.

Please forgive me, this time KP•DA55-300PLM shots instead of K-1. Close your eyes if you don't like to see them.

Well, I guess we can forgive the ugly baby's, but I dunno about the KP shots in the K-1 thread.
BTW, I "think" those are what we in the south call "Coot's" you posted vs/ the Moorhens that I posted.

Did a small reseach and can confirm you‘re completely right => Moorhen (German Teichhuhn) vs. Coot (German Blässhuhn), same family. Of course the KP shots are unforgivable.

K-1 and 100mm WR Macro

Here are three photos with a great lens from the back of my lens cabinet, K-1 with Auto Sears 50mm f 1.4, all three at f 1.4. Many of the Sears lenses are excellent glass, but somehow I am always forgetting to use them.

A trip to the thrift shop yielded a rubber beaver....

















Ah, a place in the shade.

Excellent. I'd love a BTS shot! I'm confused at the 'Pure white background done in-camera', what do you mean by this? I take it no flash use otherwise there would be shadows, so was this just taken in one of those soft light boxes for product photography? How are you focus stacking? What equipment and methodology are you using?
...

Thanks. The trick is to get the subject in the air and not place it down.

It's a two LED light setup with softboxes. One is the background and one is angled from the upper left (see the reflection on the top of the screw). The table is just a white surface which reflects on the bottom of the screw. Scrims between the softbox and the subject control the hardness of the light by adjusting the distance and angle.

In Live View I turn up the background light just until the blinkies start indicating over-exposure. That's where it turns to pure white without giving flare. Adjust the top light to taste until it looks good in brightness. That's basically all.

For focus stacking I tethered to IT2 and DCU because I'm lazy. Start at the closest focussing point and then, in IT2, hit the focussing button 30 times between each shot to move the focus forward.

I merged them in Affinity Photo. I let the app align the shots automatically (focus breathing makes the subject shrink when moving focus). Masking the focus areas wasn't hard since it is a simple shape. In complex shots the app can do it automatically but that didn't work here. Maybe not enough texture.

It's not the same brand.
BruceBanner posted a picture of a bottle of Hennessy and i posted a picture of a bottle of Remy Martin.
These two are good cognac brands

Some industrial stuff. Pure white background done in-camera, no masking in post needed, both screws in one shot. Just a little D&B and sharpening.
Focus stacking at f/16 still needed 10 images to get all in focus although they are just 10cm long each (4in).

These are medical implants for broken bones. 100mm macro WR. No Pixelshift because too much diffraction at f/16.

Nice! I like it.
