2015-12-18b focus stacking

Gave a try at focus stacking. The star cookie cutters where on hand, so I used them as objects. 13 single pictures and some "etsooi" involved.
Kind of happy, with this first try, but it also feels weird as I'm looking normally for bokeh and blurry background. If you care, I like it a bit better on black.

Makes for a nice shot. Very dramatic.

It does look fantastic on black. I have no idea how to stack but it does look pretty cool.

You did a great job with this! I'm with you - I'm so into blurs and bokeh, focus stacking is different, but I love the sharpness it gives all the cookie cutters. And it does look good in b&w!

[Jane Pittenger]

Very nicely done. b and w is perfect to bring out the shine, fav

[Kate Goring]

Well done. The focus is fabulous. Fav.

[Tony]

Fabulous capture, perfectly focused at all levels.

[Graeme Stevens]

Great shot

[Ute Reckhorn]

Excellent work.

[Carolyn]

Great shot and successful focus stacking! I must try this. I did look on black and it's great!

[Ingrid]

Fantastic and impressive. I always enjoy your shots :)

[Melissa Michaud]

Neat shot! It's funny that we are always trying for the bokeh to make our photos feel special, but you turned us right on our heads with this one.

[Debs Stott]

Wow, impressive first try - its great. I have yet to try this - I don't have the patience at the moment.

[Issi Bannerman]

Super unusual capture of fairly mundane objects! Lovely image!

[aikimomm (phoebe)]

Not sure what focus stacking is, but this certainly is a striking image!

[Vera]

It does have to be seen on black - and I should say you pick the best subjects for stillife-photos. I love those reflections and broken lines and different light patterns. Very clever!

[Richard Sayer]

This has worked out brilliantly Mona - well worth the effort... Fav!

[Francoise]

I like the procession with everything in focus.

[Nova]

I think it's a great shot and I've not tried this "stacking" process yet and may need to give it a try. Wonderful image M. :)

[Debby Glynn]

I like it a lot. You always have such great lighting in all your photos

[Joan Robillard]

Very well done.

[Shepherdman's Wife]

Must have a go at this too! Nice effect

[Denise Wood]

Terrific capture :)

[Rosie Kerr]

Nicely done! Universally good focus and super contrasts.

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Fantastic!
