Give it a go.

After seeing all the fantastic images on the challenge last week It gave me the inspiration to give it a go, I wanted to try out the in camera focus stacking on my R6 which didn't go very well so resorted to single shot, where the focus stacking needs auto focus I resorted to using a 12mm extension tube with my old ef 24-105 L lens, I did a couple of stacks with different apertures the takeaways were

1. should of used a timer

2. should of found a better subject, the image came out but had a lot of haloing which I assume was from the camera shake.

I needed to find a better background but the most important one would be to give myself more time to play and look at the scene.

The first image was a 15 image stack set to 4 increments.

The second image is the single shot which I lit with a torch as I left the small rig light at work, I opted for shooting at F4 for this one to remove more of the distractions from the background.
