Today was my brother’s birthday. Jeff and I went down to my parents and went out to dinner with my parents and brother. We had a really good time. Before we went down I took a picture of the ribbon on the present I had for my brother.

I have been wanting to try focus stacking, due to the fact that close ups with my 180mm macro lens often gives me a very narrow depth of field. Normally I like this and use it artistically, but, something I think it would be nice to have flower photos with a great depth of field. So, basically, focus stacking is where you take multiple picture of the same object, each with part of the object in focus, then have Photoshop blend them together for you. So, I got out my tripod, and tried this with the Gerbera. Definitely will take some practice, but I was happy with the result.



And one more.
