More of Mrs L's houseplants. Window ledges (and more) are awash with flowers at the moment. Nice to see them as the garden flowers are almost over now.

K3 + DA35mm macro and a few LED lights. All stacks, processed with Affinity Photo.

Thoughts, comments welcome as usual.

Very nice shots.

Fabulous colours and incredibly sharp.

How many images per stack?

Thanks.

I forgot to note down the number of images per stack, but it would have been about 15. I'm actually quite impressed with Affinity Photo - just select the stack of images, press 'start' and wait. For something without any means of tweaking the stacking process, it does a pretty good job (but not every time!).

Cheers for that info Steve.

I've been considering Affinity photo for a while now...seems great value and really well featured.
Didn't realise you could 'stack' with it as well...something i've yet to try although I will probably have to change my desktop first.

Very effective use of stacking, Steve, with great results as far as the subject is concerned. The background is rather dark for my liking, though, and for me detracts from the overall effect. I've been using Affinity Photo for a while now and really like it. You do end up with huge files, though!
