I like a nice pea.
Pea Pods
Thought I'd have a go at this focus stacking malarky. This is my first attempt. Downloaded the program and pulled a few peas. Something to do whilst its raining anyway :smile:
Good fun anyway and the programme does the hard work.
D200
Sigma 50 mm
10 stacked images.
100iso
10th sec @5.6
Tripod , remote, adjusted in levels and black cloth darkened.
Cheers

Excellent piece of work. I hope you grew them yourself :smile: :wink: Is that signs of a pea moth larva I see in the left hand pod? The price you pay if like me you grow organically.

If you don't watch out you will be posting images of rotten carrots next.:biggrin: :wink:

John,

You never cease to surprise us! While unusual for you this is a really good effort. :toast:

Interesting image John, I like the comp and the bold colours work well in my opinion.

I must say I'm surprised that the focus stacking experts on this forum haven't offered their advice and critique on this one.

TEE HEE.... shouldn't that be (c) for cultivated?

Definately nicely done John and certainly good practice for using the software in anger...

Shall look forward to more....

Very well done John.Looks like you've got the hang of it very quickly.
Is this the CombineZM that Andy used on his dragon?
