Playing around with focus stacking/bracketing with my X-T2 after the v.4.10

As I said, this was an experiment, so composition does not come into this
discussion. Everything else is fair game.

I used my XF16mm f/1.4 set at f/2 @ ISO 200. Distance was about 12”. I
used
a Godox TT350F flash. I took a focus bracket of 20 exposures with an
interval
of 3 second to ensure the flash was functional for each exposure.

The 20 shots were imported into Lightroom CCC, and then opened as layers in
Photoshop CC. The layers were auto aligned, and then auto blended, and saved
back to LR to get this result.

Technically it worked, but it makes the flowers look flat, to me.


I did say experiment didn’t I?

How did the trip to (?) Africa go? I missed the report.


I got back home in March. There were some photo ops, but the trip was really
an extended visit with old friends.
Here is a taste of some shots taken with the X-E3, starting with late night
at Schipol, ending with the Southern Suburbs side of Table Mountain.
