First focus stack attempt

[Johann]

This was my first attempt to focus stack.
I used the software that came with my Omax camera to stack the image and then sharpened it a little in Photoshop.

I'm not happy with the Omax camera quality and have ordered an attachment for my Canon 600D - hoping that will give me way better image quality.

This is a pollen from a tree flower in my garden - no idea what species
Magnification 600x

Looks good, how many in the stack? I have an OMAX 5mp for several months now, the ToupView software takes a while
to learn - plus lots of practice stacking. Depending on the subject I use from 2 to 20 in a stack.
Also setting up the camera becomes less of a problem the more you use it.

I think that is quite a good image.

I used an Amscope 3MP USB camera until l I set up my Canon so I know you will appreciate the better picture quality.

Looks good to me. And an interesting red color.

Idem je trouve la photo très bonne avec des couleurs agréables

Thanks for the feedback. The color of the pollen is the same as the petals of the flower, which I thought was interesting.

@rabitt - I used 14 images

@vaselle - thanks for the feedback, I was looking at your images and they are absolutely spectacular - hope to pick your brain... a lot - (FYI - had to use Google translate )

@jimT - was looking at some older threads and left this message for you - not sure if you saw it: "Hi JimT, have u done any focus stacking using Photoshop? Just wanted to find out if Combine ZP does a better job than Photoshop?"
