joe,
I'll look that up when I get a chance but I think it was 2007 or 2008 on one of my trips out west.

Trying my hand at some focus stacking today. This was taken with a 50mm lens and it's tough to get sharp focus from near to far with that lens. So I took 5 shots focused on different parts and stacked them in photoshop. I think my technique needs some work but it was starting to rain even harder and I wanted to get my camera back in its case. And I probably didn't use the most efficient path in photoshop either.... that program scares me so I rarely use it. :)

Sorry, one of my favorite subjects. One last shot, actually a combination of two shots. One was the mushroom and one was the leprechaun, seemed like they went together.

Here's a lesson learned about leveling your tripod better when you make a pano, this one is sort of drooping to the right. OTOH maybe I just need to choose a different projection??
I tried to load it into the normal photo thing here but it wouldn't go, I think the file may be too big, IDK, hence the link.

this is a cool photo. you know, the earth is rounded, not level. plus, the water should have a way to drain besides just soaking in ;).

One of my Listening Points in Farrell's Marsh, Steilacoom, Washington. I have two spots where I sit and just look and listen, sometimes bring a few others to sit and listen with me. I'm blessed to have this 70 acre town park and established forest just down the street from my house. Actually kinda reminiscent of the BWCA in many ways.
I'm up in a tree maybe 20 feet from the ground, directly suspended over the marsh.

i don't do "set up" photos very much and i don't mean moving a leaf to get a mushroom shot or a buddy holding up a fish.
when i was up on Snow Bay last year i wanted a few sunset shots but it was over cast or that ball of fire with no dramatic clouds.
then one evening the sky did that Architectural Digest Blue and i knew i had to move fast to get something out of it.
i shoved a bunch of pine in the fire pit and set my water bucket on the grate and lite it and knocked out a bunch of shots.
that one was what i wanted.so will anyone else admit to staging a shot.

Red, would you be willing to tell us what aperture you used for the stacked images? How much depth of field did you want? Given the rainy conditions, I would think that having everything beyond about 20 feet from the camera out of focus would enhance the feeling of rain obscuring the view.

I was only at f8 but even at that I had 5" shutter speed, had I gone smaller the shutter would have been proportionately longer, and still not have given me the dof I was looking for. With the 50mm the hyper focal distance was still too far to get what I wanted in focus, which was really just the log from the foreground back to the V in the log. I didn't take the time to calculate the dof for that aperture at that distance I just shot from the hip focused in five places and took it home to see how it'd work. :)
