| | | Focus Stacking Experiment
I've had a very quick and dirty play with stacking images to increase the very limited depth of field when taking macro images. This is a normal household fork and the scratching on the surfaces is scary lol
Taken with a Canon MP-E65 @ x4 magnification and a MR-14EX ringflash.
All exposures were at 1/30sec F10.
Frame One. Very very limited depth of field at even at F10 at this magnification 
The combined result of stacking 14 images focussed at different points across the fork 
very odd my signature line has gone screwy lol

Very interesting Kev. It's something I've never tried doing. I must give it a go. |

I've just been reading the spec on that Canon EP-E65..That's some macro lens! 5:1!! I thought 1:1 was good... |

Ive always fancied one of those , my home made drainpipe ext tube rig can get a match head to be full frame (on a 20D), I am told that this equates roughly to 10:1 which aint bad for about 30 notes , but it aint best portable , depth of field is neglible , focusing is a total mare - basically you have to move the subject - I made a photo bench to do this with, and you lose all your functions - its a laugh though
