I was actually trying to photograph this Jimsonweed flower detail when I captured the photograph of the Jimsonweed Pollinator that I wrote about last month. The bees kept landing on the stamens and disturbing the scene so I had to wait until they were gone and the stamens stopped moving before I could capture all the images necessary to process my focus stack.
This image was taken with my Sony A7R II Digital Camera using my Sony 90mm f/2.8 Macro Lens. The camera was set on Aperture Priority mode with the aperture set at f/8, shutter speed at 1/40th of a second and the ISO set at 400. I used only natural light to light the subject. I captured 15 images and brought them together into a single image using Photoshop and the focus stacking technique. I finalized the image Lightroom and Nik Color Efex Pro.
