Before and after post processing

I can't find the original, but thought about posting a stacked image.


Focus on the eye was crisp, but not so much the rest of him.

I shifted focus slightly and was able to get a little more of the hairs on his back in focus.

Here is the resulting image after combining the two photos in photoshop CS5. I was only able to capture two shots as the little guy decided to fly away or I would have maybe a little more in focus. All shots were taken with the Canon 7D, 100mm macro (original), and modified 430 ex II to make the light softer.

Hope that was interesting to someone who doesn't understand focus stacking.

It's really interesting to see the different styles people apply to their images. Great thread! Here's one of mine, took a very long time to clone out the old car left of frame. This is from an engagement shoot I did a little while back. I'm shooting the wedding in 2 weeks.


Thanks for looking!
