Foto Friday - Kousa Dogwood
Hello everyone.
Today's photo is a Focus Stacked Panorama of a `Kousa Dogwood Branch that I may have cut off of the tree in my front yard when my wife wasn't home. There are no photos or video of the "act" actually happening, and it is still under investigation.
For the Technology Geeks, the final photo was shot in two halves. Each half was a 9 shot Focus Stacked combination, and then combined using Photomerge in Photoshop. All shots were captured at 1/200s (sync speed of the two strobes), F16, ISO 200, with my Nikon 60mm F2.8 Micro Lens. Each of the 9 shots were Focus Stacked in Helicon Focus, and the two halves combined in Photoshop using the Photomerge command. Also if you pay close attention, there were a few flowers missing on the right side of the brach, so a couple were "cloned" into place for the final artistic panorama I was trying to create.
Hope you enjoy!
