red peppers and other miscellany

First attempt at focus stacking. I got a bit of ghosting on the onion but other wise it came out not too badly. (I think!)

If you hadn't mentioned the union, I'm not sure if I'd noticed it.
I'd have like to have a little more room on top, but that's a little thing. Looks neat, great first attempt.

Yep not bad at all. How many exposures for this one?

[JAS_Photo]

Seven images M.A. I am doing the focusing by hand on these ones. Non- auto focus lens- here is one with about 11. But has also been put through the Topaz Spicify press.

Well, I like the composition very much - well done. But you should use the "burning tool"(?) from PS to darken the light on the onion - just my .

A lot of work there Raiven. That second photo looks way better except for the where the wall has pixelated? Or maybe that's the texture of the wall?

I think that is caused by the Topaz Adjust, M.A. The first shot is almost an exact rendering of colour and texture and the second is 'Adjusted'. Let me see if I can find a before shot.

Ok here we go prior to any post:

Maybe you can smooth out those wall artifacts then

[JAS_Photo]

I dont really know how to? Maybe use layers to keep original wall, somehow?

Cool Raiven. Nice setup too. I have heard and read of this before. Sure sounds like a lot of work. What aperture were these shot?
