Focus stacking
I bought a cheap macro rail off eBay the other week so I thought I'd have a go at focus stacking. I first heard about focus stacking here, although I only used 21 exposures.
Macro rail off eBay ~$40.

First image of 21. I didn't quite get the focus as sharp on the first imaga as I would have liked.

Last image of 21.

Final output after merging in Photoshop. There's a little bit of ghosting due to vibration. Note to self, make sure the washing machine is not doing a spin cycle when doing macro shots

To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional
Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
What could possibly go wrong.

That looks like fun. I already have very nice bellows. What software do you use?
The other day I described to my daughter how to find something in the garage by saying "It's right near my big saw". A few minutes later she came back to ask: "Do you mean the black one, the green one, or the blue one?".

I have Photoshop 6. Pretty old, but so far it's done what I need. I'll take a look and see if it will do focus stacking.
