More flowers from the garden

[Ken Rennie]

All focus stacked, some with as many as 70 images. Unfortunately a slight breeze has taken the edge off of the sharpness but I think that they are still interesting.

The next 3 are from very short lived conditions with me trying to get the images captured before the morning sun melted the frost feathers.

I love your frost feathers - takes these flower portraits to another level. Image #3 in particular is amazing for the icy frost.

These are so awesome! 70 images for a focus stack is wild! Are you stacking them in Photoshop?

Love the detail and light in all of these.

I had been using the trial version of Helicon Focus but my time has passed so I used Photoshop for these. 70 60Mp files as photoshop layers slows my fairly high end computer down but Helicon is much faster with better output especially with more complex images. Ken

Thank you Alan. Unfortunately we have a little storm coming through, nothing dangerous but 50+mph winds and heavy driving rain has flattened the crocuses but the daffodils seem to have survived, perhaps tomorrows snow might kill them off too. Ken
