Hi Alan

A very elegant still life,very effective,would like to see a bit more seperation between the back leaf and the tulip head but its a great shot.

Hi Alan

These stacked shots that you post are always top notch and this is no exception - I haven't got a clue how you do them though!

Me neither, but would like to know !
Does it mean different focussing planes blended together ?

Hi Alan,

Superb! Wished I could understand how to do it from beginning to end, however I'll just stick to enjoying your series!

Very nice, Alan, for me like a dancer in a ballett.

Again an excellent stack... although we do this at work I simply haven't got the patience to pursue the technique with my own work so kudos to you...... (btw if you upgrade to a Canon with live view check out Chris Breezes Remote pro... :wink: )
