16 focus stacked RAW photos using Helicon Focus - Method A (weighted average)
There are two other methods of stacking: Depth Map and Pyramid.
The nut measures approximately 12mm across.
For all the previous photos I used an LED anglepoise type lamp for illumination.
This time I used a mains operated LED ring light that I had forgotten all about.
It fits the stacking set up perfectly and has adjustable brilliance.
The camera was set to depth of field priority and manual focus.
I never really got into focus stacking but I seem to recall Pyramid giving good results.
ReplyDeleteThe LED lights that we get for machines are cheap and seem to last well. They are 12v or 24v and give a constant light but that isn't a problem.
