Thanks! For sure, dramatic sunrise clouds are one of my favourite fall features.

Thanks very much! This was shot on a Nikon Z6, using the F-mount 105mm macro lens. It’s a focus stack of 25 exposures, each shot at 0.4s f/5.6.

Cheers thanks! Yep, one other shot you should be able to see on my profile.

Thanks very much! It’s pretty hot right now, we’ve got a few days of 30C weather in front of us right now. Been a very dry summer (by Vancouver standards, at any rate).

Not fake, but focus stacked. This is 29 shots blended, each at 1/13s, f/5.6.

Thanks! The drop-off is something that I’ve struggled with using this process so far, as the edge shots will have the same shallow DoF that all of the other ones do. If there were a way to vary aperture while shooting the stack, that might be a way to do it.

rhino OP ,

Thank you! Process involves shooting a range of images in the field (generally more than I need), then merging them in either Photoshop or a tool like Helicon Focus. I then select the edge shots (where I’d like the focus to begin and end), and then selectively edit and/or remove shots from the stack; perhaps the wind moved the subject a bit, or a bug entered shot. Following that is my usual RAW processing regime, which varies from shot to shot.

Thanks! Glad you liked it (and I didn’t even see your pre-edit, but for clarity, this was taken at Barnet Marine Park in Burnaby, BC).
