I took this shot with the idea of showing what we’ll soon see. This photo was taken with the built in focus stacking feature in an Olympus camera. In this case, I chose to take 15 slices and the camera blended them to produce a final jpeg. The raws are there if I wanted to work with them, but that’s soooo much work. :sunglasses: Richard

Richard: I’m going to defer to the stacking experts but to my eye this looks really good and has produced a very pleasing comp and final result. Well seen and a fine use of the capabilities of your camera. >=))>
