For those of you who are into Photography, there's a discussion about the focus stacking techniques used to create the photo over in the WTF Photography Forum:

Nice photo. You should probably (if you're not already) get hooked on EDC flashlights. They make for good photography subjects too.

Funny you should mention that. I've done some flashlight photo reviews too!

Nice photos. I'm trying to learn about macro photography. What type of setup are you using?

Very cool and great photo.

I've never heard of Focus stacking, but it seems to be similiar to HDR? Instead of changing the exposure, you changed the focus. Interesting technique!

Here's an article on my site where I show my light box set up and equipment:

That's correct - there are similarities. The concept is, based on technical limitations in the equipment and environment, you cannot get a single optimal photograph. However, but combining elements (exposure elements in the case of HDR, or focus elements in the case of focus stacking) you can overcome the limitation.

I'd trade in the pen for a flashlight -- everyone has a pen (although, maybe not a Mont Blanc), but no one ever seems to have a flashlight.

In my experience, that's because no-one ever seems to need a flashlight day-to-day, but everyone needs a pen.

Very cool photography, OP, and damn nice toys. :thumbup:

Thanks much! And as to the question of flashlight or pen, I say, why not have both?

And the watch for a smart phone. The world's full of clocks. Including the one on the phone.

I use my pocket flashlight nearly every single day. almost never ever do I use a pen.

What can I say? Get a good pen and you'll look for excuses to use it. :thumbup:
