Nice. F4oly04 works especially well I think.

What a wonderfully painterly effect you have created in that last one, Gary. Focus stacking can often result in a sort of ‘hyper-real’ look. This doesn’t. Similarly, specular highlights can be tricky to ‘control’ and the water droplet is your shots, Wes, are nicely lit and do not suffer from...

Sounds good! :)

Some very nice results. I have not come across either Huggin or Shinestacker. I have always used Helicon Focus and, although I have a license for ZereneStacker too, I have only used it rarely. These threads might be useful / interesting...

Mind, the two figures in the window seem to have seen you coming and have turned their backs! ;)

Nicely rendered, and I prefer this to the B&W shot. The colours help differentiate the ‘statues’ from the background better and you’ve caught ‘his’ eye nicely too.

That old scalloped-ring 105 is one of my all-time favourite lenses. :)

And just to prove the point, this most certainly wasn’t sitting under the bookcase at the bottom of the stairs for the last 6 months!

Absolutely, and that worked just like that for me! ;)

Most definitely. Nice shots too.

The colour rendering and delicate tones are really nice here, Aldous.

Now that made me laugh, Gianluca. Brilliantly done (and well spotted).

Thank you, Gianluca. Those house plant pixies do like their comforts it seems! ;)

Thanks, Ralph. Needs a bit algae and light corrosion still. The weathered clap-board will be fun. :)

A while back some friends gave me a laser-cut kit to build a balsa-wood tree house for an indoor plant. I think they got the idea because I do build miniatures (I’ll share some others at some point) and ‘restored’ an old doll’s house for a friend last year. Anyway, the kit was pretty simple...
