Focus Stacking Macro - Photography Contest [25 entries]

Stilt Winged Fly Picture

Winning entry, with a score of:
76.5%
Contest goal:

We have had macro and panorama macro... now how about "focus stacking macro"? Take several images (at least 4 or more) of a small object using different focus point and then stitch them together into one image with a full focus range.

A Macro of 1:1 or larger would really show the effect of using stacking. Post your images in a SBS.


Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

audreyj: ...and this is why I like pxleyes. The theme description was/is a foreign language to me. Now I'm researching macro/stacking/tubes/rings etc and am almost ready to hit the camera store ( 5 years and 2756 days ago )
