Wild strawberry
Posted on Dezember 18th, 2013
Yet another photo for the cold winter. And think of it: in 90 days it’s spring again!
I found this tiny little wild strawberry at the edge of the forest. It was so small that I needed the macro lens, only 4mm in diameter. Because the of the evening light, I used f2.8, but I had so a small DOF, only the front of the berry was in focus. Good I had allready heard of a technique called “focus stacking”. I was lying in the grass and tried to hold the camera as calm as possible, cause you know: when you need a tripod, you don’t have one. And I made six or seven shots while i turned slowly at the focus ring to set the focal point bit by bit away from me.
Back at home, I processed the images with the Zerene Stacker and é voila; a strawberry in focus from near to far. This is cool, isn’t it? I like the modern time with digital imaging. You’ve got so much geeky stuff
