How I did it:
The outdoor weather was not cooperating so I took a cut flower, placed it in a Lastolite cubelite lightbox (white nylon semi-opaque) and took a series of photos varying the focus point from front to back in the living room in natural window and skylight lighting. Then I tried focus stacking in PS CC but wasn’t pleased with the result and went into Helicon Focus where I achieved a better result. In PS CC I applied: filter>stylize>trace>contour and played with different variations. Finally I took several variations converted to layers and combined them to get the final result, a composite of varying colors. The result isn’t a classical composition but it was fun playing in the PS filters which have lots of possibilities. I used my Canon 5DSr and Canon EF 100mm F2.8L macro lens at F8 tripod mounted, mirror lockup, electronic cable release.
What do you think and what would you do differently?
