Macro 1st attempt at focus stacking

r0ckstarr · 02-17-2016, 05:25 PM

22 images.
K3 + D FA 100 Macro
ISO 1600
F8
1/160
Lit with Bescor LED-40 On Camera Light

Looks like I missed a couple around the edges.

Do you use a stacking program for that or do it manually?

I processed the images in Lightroom, then stacked them in Photoshop. It's a pretty automated process once you have the photos. The bulk of the work is in-camera. If you want step-by-step instructions on how I did it, I can provide them.

I am actually interested. I want to attempt macro like this.
