Default Image stacking

It was mentioned briefly in the Macro Thread about "Combine Z5" this is an image stacking program used to stack several images together to achieve greater DOF.

Due to having quite a bit of spare time on my hands today, I decided to create and upload a "Stacked" image. This image is actually 5 images of varying focus then "stacked" using the aforementioned software, which incidently is freeware.

I used my Canon 10D + Canon 100mm macro lens set on a tripod, with a lens to subject distance of 38cm. Camera setting where 1/10 @ f/10 and used onboard flash. The flower is approx 6.5cm dia.

I selected f/10 so as to give a shallow DOF, mainly to emphasise how efficient Combine Z5 is at giving increased DOF.

I have only attached Images 1 of 5 and 5 of 5 + of course the finshed stacked image. The other 3 images are available for upload if required.

Thanks for the reminder about the program I downloaded it ages ago and forgot all about it. I will have to have a go at using it.

Very interesting - never heard of this procedure before but it looks pretty good to me.
