Incredible work. The way the dof is applied to the floor on the single bean is confusing my brain though. Is that from a single exposure or is that also built up?
I have gone through somewhat of an emotional journey and I have come to accept the fact that you chose to present us with the freaky green booger on the purple bean.
I do find it interesting that you offer us a wallpaper with a watermark?
Everything in that photo is focus stacked, and that includes the shadow below the bean. It’s just resting on an ordinary piece of paper, which has a bit of a texture to it. To be fair, the far background is completely out of focus but there’s nothing back there but yet more white paper. And the blemish on the purple bean is a fragment of the shell of a green one that got stuck to it from its time rattling around in the bag.
I watermark everything I post mainly so I can feel that little spark of amusement when I see someone has stolen it and posted it somewhere else.
But this time, because I like you guys, you can have the clean version here:
Good stuff!
I just bought a new (used) macro lens, not nearly as nice as yours, and I can’t wait to get it out this spring when things start growing. I’m ready to try my hand at focus stacking too.
