That's very rich and nicely textured. Nice knife. What type of wood is that surface? I have a cabinet in that wood, and I'd like some bookshelves made in it. B On 1 Dec 2013, at 02:05, Bill anotherdrunken...@gmail.com wrote: Another focus stack image. This time shot with the DA100/2.8

I haven't done focus stacking but my general impression is that you have to move the camera/lens to shift focus because doing so on the lens tends to shift the magnification. So I guess its possible with enough distance and not a lot of shift going on for this to work with just the lens huh? For

How precise does the stack have to be in terms of depth? I'm guessing you could easily auto-align any other problems. On Sun, Dec 1, 2013 at 12:28 PM, Bruce Walker bruce.wal...@gmail.com wrote: Beautifully detailed, handsome colours. That knife has a lot of character! On Sat, Nov 30, 2013 at
