Those are some of the best shots of NYC I've ever seen . . . And I'm from here.

Has anyone here used any image stacking software? Macro Photography has a very shallow depth of field. Image stacking allows multiple pictures to be stacked creating a picture that has a lot more in focus. This would have to be done with stationary subjects as multiple pictures of the subject have to be taken.

while I have not done it, the macro guys on photography on the net are experts. Take a look for LordV in the macro subforum. He does spectacular stacking.

Thanks :)

NYC is such a wonderful place, after only a brief visit I want to live there!

The old adage, "the best camera is the one you have with you" is very true. As an enthusiastic photographer, when travelling I can't take all the gear with me, but recently had a revelation when I found the Panasonic Lumix LX5. It is like having a SLR in your pocket with an F2.0 lens with 24-90 zoom and full manual control. The two night time shots were hand held.

Please keep in mind the rule for posting pictures on CPF, quite a number of images in this sub forum exceed the maximum allowable image size of 800 X 800 Pixels.

Please see Rule #3 If you post an image in your post, please downsize the image to no larger than 800 x 800 pixels. - Norm

Here are some shots from the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial.

This first one is a stuffed animal found in the rubble of the daycare center:

Actually, the bomb went off at 9:02.

The 9:01 on one side and the 9:03 on the opposite side are meant to show how peaceful everything was up to 9:01 and then how everything would never be the same by 9:03. Symbolically, you approach the memorial facing 9:01, and exit out the other side of the opening at 9:03.

Photos of the May 20, 2012 solar eclipse - taken in Las Vegas, NV. The eclipse was not total there - it only got to about 94%.

Infrared filter used.

Black and white - no filter - beginning of eclipse.

Infrared filter used.

Infrared filter used - as complete as it was going to get from our vantage point - about 94%.

Infrared filter used.
eclipse5.jpg


Infrared filter used - eclipse complete and coming out the other side.

No filters used. Lens flare shows upside-down and backwards image of eclipse.

This one is just goofy - infrared filter held in front of iPhone lens. Very odd lens flare!

Image stacking allows multiple pictures to be stacked creating a picture that has a lot more in focus. This would have to be done with stationary subjects as multiple pictures of the subject have to be taken.

I have used CombineZP in a few photographs. Some seeds and seedlings pics taken under microscope, and some other taken with conventional DSLR setup. It is simple and quick to use and you can get if for free (GNU Public License). Some pics didn't turn out looking completely natural (at least if viewed at 100%), but for a very casual work and casual needs, it is a nice and useful tool.

Just take enough photographs. It looks weird if there is an unsharp layer in the middle of the depth of field.

That little kitten is the spitting image of the one I used to feed at one of my old jobs. Sadly, he was a stray and very frightened much if not all of the time. He got caught one day, and put down. I miss the little guy. Hope the one in the pic is having a happier life.
