Thinking it was some time since I did a bit of macro photography I set things up:
Parts left to right:
Raynox DCR-250 Super Macro Conversion Lens surrounded by LED ring light.
Canon EF 70-200mm zoom lens.
Viltrox EF-S to EF-M adaptor
Canon M5 camera with LED light controller on top.
Subject - Hibiscus flower held in retort stand.
Camera fitted with wireless remote shutter control.
Lens set to 70mm, 4 focus stacked photos converted from RAW to JPG (100%)
Processed with Zerene Stacker then cropped.
Lens set to 200mm. Single photo.
Processed from RAW and tweaked in Affinity Photo.
Camera set to manual 1/80 sec f32
It's done a good job. It's years since I used Zerene. I'll have to see if I still have it on the machine. Not that I ever got it to work as well as you do.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: You will probably find that Zerene has been updated since you last used it. Gets better by the year. A bit faster and more accurate.
DeleteAdrian: P.S. I think the lack of mirror clattering on each shot helped even more to keep everything rock steady. No doubt live view would be the same on a camera with a mirror.
DeleteI'll have another look at Zerene. For static stuff I like to plug the camera into the laptop. I'd love to be able to afford a digital back for the Bronica ETRS, must have a look and see how much they are now. That really has a mirror and a half to shift. Sounds like dropping a breeze block. A very satisfying clunk.
