Not sure if this in the right forum. If not please move it.
I've been having a look at a bit of free focus-stacking software, CombineZM.
I took three shots of a clover flower with my 60mm macro set at f2.8, each one focusing on a different part of the flower, and then combined them.
The following example isn't perfect, for a variety of reasons, but it demonstrates the general idea.
1. I used manual focusing, and my eyes aren't really good enough for that, especially with a 350D viewfinder.
2. I could have taken a lot more 'slices', which would have improved the resulting image.
3. I was in a hurry - the whole thing took no more than 10 minutes, including taking the shots, converting to JPEG, down-loading the software, installing it and stacking the images.
Has anyone else tried CombineZM?
