Hi everyone,
Here is just my first -hand handing focus stracking in camera- merged in Photoshop, edit Photoshop CC and when in Lightroom classic cc
external tubs used , but not full magnification of it..

So, the picture - trying new hand handing technique 🥳 :cool:
Lot of learning and following anothers macro photographers... 🥳, but still far way to be perfect :LOL:

I need to critique and suggestions, how you like the picture and what to improve with.. :)
And if someone would know what is in the picture.. ;)

- the arctic, white summer nights great for shooting insects :love:🇫🇮

I share macro picture after longest time :D , just busy and not always sharable pictures :LOL::ROFLMAO:

Looking forward to see your opinions about the picture ;)

Here is an answer for us Jack Jack and Greg Greg78340 🤭
A bit too much mess on my table 🤣
But the processing merging the images, you can see on the picture some of about..🤭
Just editing PS and later in LR.. ,long process to get the result like it !
But I I tired to do it by hand helding- as a lot of photographers on the forum 🤭

Pictures taken in camera-focus bracketing

So,what would you say about the effect?
I would like to help back from you all 🙃🙂😉

I'm not a pro with stacking , i just started. But the goal of focus stacking is to get a good clarity. And hand helding is not adapted. Using a tripod, in manual mode, take 10 + picture without moving, changing the focus.

I know, thanks Greg Greg for your opinion 😉

Yes I know in theory, and I've been tried this trick too...

but lot of Photographers take hand helding great focus stacking pictures.. and get great results with pictures and freedom same .. an examples is a lot .. (I've been following just a lot of photographers 😉)

Because of it I tried this technique too 😄
I'm quite glad as for the first trying.. 🤭
But I want to heard still opinions about the picture... and discussa bout.. the focus stacking techniques too same 🤭

So waiting forward for more comments and opinions..

Greetings from the park 😁🇫🇮
