My first attempt at stacking

[Zayets]

I took some more flower shots. And I realized while taking them that no matter how small an aperture I use, there is no way that I can attain enough depth of field to keep everything in focus. I had heard of stacking but I didn't know how to do it. So I did a little search and came across a link which was a step by step tutorial on how it can be done. Thank you LordV for your wonderful write up.

Each picture is a combination of 3 shots. Your C&C would be greatly appreciated.

The stacking was not as hard as I thought it was. I used a wonderful little program called CombineZM to combine my 3 shots of different focus depths. The software took care of the rest.

About #1, should I decrease the kelvin temperature on it? I think it is currently set at 3200 degrees.

Not bad stacks for first go :). The yellow and red are both "blown" in #1 try desaturating it a bit.
