Re: Manual Focus Nikon Glass


On yesterday's hike I came across some mariposa Lilies and Harebells. Unfortunately, there was a bit of a breeze and both of these wildflowers are very delicate on narrow stems, so even the slightest breeze will throw off the focus stack. For this one, I had to discard 2 of the 11 images so things would line up, so not quite razor sharp across the whole flower

Mariposa Lily (Calochortus apiculatus) by Doug Stevens, on Flickr
Nikon Df; ISO 100; Micro-Nikkor 55mm f2.8 @ f4; 1/400 s

Just to show a little of the harebell, here are two "slices" - one for the lower flower and one for the upper, There was too much movement to get enough images to stack to get the sharpness I wanted. But, I thought they were beautiful enough to share

American Harebell (Campanula rotundifolia) by Doug Stevens, on Flickr
Nikon Df; ISO 100, Micro-Nikkor 55mm f2.8 @ f4; 1/250. 2 blended images.

With our wet and cool spring, the flowers just keep coming.

Best wishes

Doug
