Title: September Bush
Post by: Darrell C on October 08, 2015, 07:28:46

a pic from my early close up days, A September Bush flower, crying to be stacked, in fact someone asked, why it wasn't stacked, my response was "whats that", so hope to get some stacks posted soon., I know, lots of noise etc.

Darrell, I like it the way it is, no stack needed.
Perhaps a bit less sharpening would remove some of the noise...

Looking forward to seeing some of your stacks in the future.
I don't stack, but I appreciate and enjoy the photos posted here.

Oh my, aren't the Polygala flowers just amazingly beautiful? This is a textbook example of this fact.

The noise is easily abated by some post processing so just a minor annoyance.

By the way, focus stacking is a sword that cuts two ways. While you can squeeze more (and often very impressive) detail out of a subject, the process itself tends to kill the inherent photographic value of the scene at the same time. Some times just combining the sharp(er) detail of say two frames might suffice to tip the balance in a positive manner without destroying the image itself.

Hi Darrell, you don't say how old this was but I find it beautiful and delicate
