Thanks, Eric.

One this trip (last Monday) I forgot my tripod so I hand held these, mostly on TAV mode. I kept the lens fairly wide open and tried to move in slowly on the flowers to stack focus them later. All of those posted are focus stacks to some degree or another, though I found the jsut 4 or 5 images is often enough to cover the range of DOF. Hand holding steadily enough was a challenge and I basically laid down on the ground and tried to really wedge my elbows into the earth for stability. I made lots of of runs at each plant so if one stack did not work I could try another - shot 1550 images in less than an hour.

The next time I'll remember the tripod. I've been shooting the flowers in this location for years - its a far cry from the days when I used ISO 50 or 100 slide film and on a busy day would shoot a couple hundred frames.

Lovely, Mark. So much detail. So sharp. How’d you do it, i.e., equipment and 
settings?
