Balancing my hand and the lens on a Honeydew melon which brought me to just the right height I took a few shots. The final three I then process in Zerene Stacker and spent a while in Serif Affinity Photo beta to take out about a hundred blemishes from dust on the window which were littering the background:
This is the uncropped view which isn't too bad for hand held without extra lighting and at 7 p.m.. The out of focus green of the lawn made quite a good background.
laughing at the honeydew tripod!
ReplyDeleteTWG: Anything goes when trying to keep the camera still.
DeleteI feel inspired to try some hand held stacks
ReplyDeleteAdrian: Balancing the camera is the hardest part so the subject isn't wandering round the viewfinder too much. This time I fired a shot each time one of the red focus spots showed in the viewfinder and the camera beeped. I think I had it set for 9 point focus.
DeleteFantastic results, unorthodox approach! Loved the description of your methods.
ReplyDeleteWilma: Thank you. Nothing more challenging than finding a quick and easy solution to keeping the camera on an even keel.
DeleteBloody hell that's an awesome close up shot!
ReplyDeleteSDT. Thank you kind sir.
