great work - how many images did it take to create this?

Carlos Esteban Solis Fallas |
Thank you Robert. 42 images. Software used: Zerene Stacker.

Robert Jensen |
Thanks - have been using Helicon Focus but I hear that Zerene is better. What lens did you use?
|
||||||||||
|
|
|||||||||||
|
Carlos Esteban Solis Fallas |
For me, the better software. I use a Canon Macro 100 mm f/2.8L + Extension Tubes + Microscopic Lens.

Robert Jensen |
Thanks - what do you mean by microscopic lens? Are you referring to a 2 element screw on diopter?

Specifically a Raynox MSN-202.

So the Raynox is a stand alone lens? I might try my old Olympus 20mm macro lens that does up to 9x's life size with the auto extension tubes.

Carlos Esteban Solis Fallas |
Yes. It has an adapter to be attached to the lenses.

Robert Jensen |
I see some people use it as a standalone. Are you saying that you actually attach the Raynox on to the Canon 100 macro?

Exactly!!!

Do you use a focusing rail?

|
Carlos Esteban Solis Fallas |
Yes. A cheap focus raik bought in Amazon.

When you are stacking so many images, do you shoot them in jpeg mode? I would image RAW would be a nightmare in terms of memory.
|

Carlos Esteban Solis Fallas |
I am using JPG now. The Zerene Stacker only read tiff and jpg formats then we will need to convert the raw files and that make the process so hard. But I´d like to test FS using raw files later to see the difference.

I use RAW but am only doing stacks on flowers that are up to about 10 images. 50-75 in RAW would be way too big. If I get a macro rail system I think I will shoot these in jpeg.
