I found this little flower growing in some grass in one of my neighborhood parkways. The raindrops seemed to glisten, and the petals are translucent.

Tulip Beauty

Tulip flower
This flower is about 2″/5cm from the tips of its petals to the base the petals. I took 50 photographs using a focus rail to move a short distance for each image to assure that the entire flower was in focus. I used Photoshop to stack the 50 photos.

Depth

Posted on December 28, 2020

Macro flower
This is a very small echinacea (cone flower) bloom. The image is an example of photo stacking. It used 19 photos stacked together to increase depth of field. It was one of my first efforts to use a new focusing rail and macro reverse adapter. The adapter reverses a lens to create a macro lens.
