Peas

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted May 19, 2011445 views14 comments

This is a reworked shot from last year.
It was in fact my first attempt at stacking.
Peas were on a black cloth at 45% going away from the camera purely to test the depth of focus I could get.
D200
ISO 100 Sigma 50mm macro
40th second at 5.6
7 images stacked in czm
Levels to enhance backdrop mainly
Slight crop.

Very nice picture, John! Like the clear focus, lighting and comp you have chosen for this. Haven't learned to do stacking yet--someday soon I want to work at it.

Great details in this still life and a nice composition. I'll have to check out this stacking...have read about it some but this tells me I should stop reading and start doing. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks all . Nothing hard about stacking- the computer does most of the work

If I can do it anybody can. !

Beautiful light on the peas. The details look perfect. It looks like they're in boats ready to escape.

Beautifully stacked, John. I love those fresh greens, and the repeating patterns of the peas. The black background is excellent, too.
