Plant bits

Some plant type shots. All focus stacked using zerene stacker. Taken with an MPE-65 from 1:1 to around 4:1.

Old heather flower head



Cross-eye stereogram of above





Liverworts in a bonsai azalea pot



What I assume is a fruiting body of a liverwort

I cannot ever get over how totally remarkable those stereograms are. And you present some cool ones. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful

I guess I need to learn what stacking is.... these are just great.

Lord Vetinari

Thanks for the comments

leaforte- I just find stereo shots so evocative of the original subject. Although I was interested how 3-D the first shot looked.

Deecajun - focus stacking is a way of increasing the DOF in a photo by combining shots taken at different focus depths. Tutorial here http://www.wonderfulphotos.com/articles/macro/focus_stacking/
to give you an idea.

Thanks Phil.
re the liverworts might be possible to do something with flash/lens angle but I wasn't trying too hard - they have very shiny leaves - I was mainly after those little sporing structures. Fraid I don't chimp shots or whatever it's called
