\"Orchid<\/a>
Orchid – Macro Focus Stacked Image – Steven Kennard 2013<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\n\nThis orchid was photographed using focus stacking technique – 40 macro shots stacked to create a depth of field that is impossible to achieve any other way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those interested in the technical information, I used the 180mm Canon macro lens with the camera attached to a Stack Shot focusing rail and using Zerene Stacker to combine all the file information into one finely detailed shot.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I posted this photograph of an orchid flower\u00a0the other day\u00a0as a monochrome image (See below). It’s a shame not to also see it in full colour, so here it is. It was taken with\u00a0a macro lens and the final photograph is\u00a0composed of 41 different photographs blended to give the three dimensional appearance you see. the method is called Focus Stacking.<\/p>\n\n\n
