Focus Stacking
I'm surprised that manufacturers don't offer focus stacking in camera I put it down as one for my wish list ages ago when somebody posted the question here. It would be so easy to do in firmware, set your start and end focus points, enter the number of frames you want to divide that distance by, ...

Focus Stacking
One thing with photo stacking, I've sometimes wondered why, as when shooting a non macro scene, like the flower shot, then would a uber small aperture produce a simular result? I think you might get close to it Gareth, but my wasp nest example was a good 2 - 3cms in depth which would have neede...

The problem I often have with photographing wild flowers is that to use an aperture small enough to provide sufficient DoF ...

How would a K5 help Chris ?? 8)

I'd think - K5 can use higher ISO therefore faster shutter speed

It wasn't an entirely serious suggestion. :roll: I was alluding to the much better IQ at higher ISOs than I get from my K20D. I almost never use the K20D over 400, and prefer to keep it to 200 if...

Of course the wind still causes a problem with any multiple shot combining technique, the leaves and flowers end up in different places!

advice on photo PP
Hi Will, I've only applied a little de-noise to the bakground, maybe I've been a liitle too restrained. I'm back off lunch now, I'll have another go when I get home, very little software to play with here:( John

I usually shoot raw. but for some reason I cant recollect I had changed over. I'l have a look at the adobe raw settings. See if I can fathom this out for future reference. I had not really understood the process before. Now at least I have a starting point. Thanks to John, Don and all for their inpu...

More stitching, the good ones and the bad ones...
Further to my attempts at doing multi-shot stitching to achieve narrow DOF and a wide view, I had another go this afternoon. This time I tried to accentuate the narrow DOF even further by getting closer, and also by getting wider by having more images to stitch. The effect I was aiming for was a...

That looks like a serious exercise in patience. :shock: It takes a couple of minutes to 'scan' the scene with shots. It helps that the shutter speed at f/1.4 is typically pretty fast, so it is possible to move the camera in a 'search pattern' to cover the scene without stopping. Later, it takes r...

Do you use Canon or Nikon ?
People generally think that Pentax is inferior to Canon and Nikon. I use both Nikon D300 and Pentax K20D. The only real advantage of the D300 is the focus speed. Metering of Nikon may be somewhat more reliable, but not so important. However, despite many direct buttons for control, the control of D3...

The only real advantage of the D300 is the focus speed. I have to agree the K20D was a bit sluggish, the K7 is a slight improvement and the K5 quite a big improvement, I find it a lot better for doing my rugby shots especially with the Sigma 70-200mm HSM II.

Ultra wide photography guide, please...
Just got my Sigma 8-16 and clueless about how to use it properly! :oops: My photography usually concentrates on macro, close up, portraits - those things that you want (and are able) to isolate the subject via blurring the background. Even my street pics with MFT in the past were done with a fast...

You can still get some blurring of the background, you just have to get much closer to the closest subject. One way to use the lens is to give extreme perspective. This can become addictive. In this picture the lens hood is resting on the handrail, it needed f/16 to get enough of the drops in f...
