This stacking feature allowed me to have my cake and eat it too.<BR/><BR/>Kat, thanks for the kind words. I'm looking forward to doing more.<BR/><BR/>Bernita, thanks! (I do tend to focus on the faults.) Szelsofa below is correct. It's a lilac.<BR/><BR/>Aine, you know me. I tend not to be satisfied with my own work. I was thinking that some elliptical orbits are good, just so the far away doesn't vary widely from the close.<BR/><BR/>Chris, thanks!<BR/><BR/>Bev, I haven't tried out the program's full functionality yet. However, you can't beat the price. Free! Drop me an email, and I'll send you a link.<BR/><BR/>Jaye, what a beautiful way to put it. I'm going to remember that. :)<BR/><BR/>Vesper, the picture reminded me of a binary star system. There's something almost tangible in the distance.<BR/><BR/>Szelsofa, lilac is correct!! Excellent eye. Depth of field in macro photography is tough. You can max out the aperture to increase it, but then often end up with a tripod unless it's a bright day. This picture is made up of 5 or 6 individual photos. The program must select the sharp focus region of each. The only downside is that a tripod is a must, I think, to keep the photos nearly identical. Maybe I'll do a post showing the before and after of a forsythia shot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-7897771021877459272008-04-07T13:44:00.000-04:002008-04-07T13:44:00.000-04:00I think it's lilac.My camera has a macro-shot func...I think it's lilac.<BR/><BR/>My camera has a macro-shot function, but the depth is so low, with macro - you probably know that.<BR/><BR/>D'you mean it makes a third photo by combining two?<BR/>What a great idea.SzélsőFahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11600289147447182465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-1676668544429339962008-04-07T12:14:00.000-04:002008-04-07T12:14:00.000-04:00"I drink your gravity"Splendid photo and words!Plu..."I drink your gravity"<BR/><BR/>Splendid photo and words!<BR/><BR/>Plus a sure sign of spring... :-)Vesperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417602625059442986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-42887631091713340592008-04-07T11:18:00.000-04:002008-04-07T11:18:00.000-04:00I love the picture.
