I spotted a budding Buffalo Bur<\/a>\u00a0(Solanum rostrum<\/em>) plant growing while mowing the yard last week. I went out earlier this week and photographed the plant outdoors and I was not happy with the results. I then clipped one of the flowers and took it into my studio where it wilted in less than five minutes so I gave up on photographing it, mostly due to the intense heat. Then, I went out this morning one last time and spotted this little spider who gave me renewed inspiration.<\/p>\n

This 1x magnification image was made using the focus stacking<\/a> technique. I normally use this technique in the studio but there are times when\u00a0it’s necessary to use it in the field. I’ve mentioned before that macro photography has a very narrow depth of field. The Depth of Field<\/a> (DoF) for this lens\/aperture\/focus distance combination is 0.06 inches. In addition to DoF, other challenges\u00a0for using this technique outdoors are\u00a0wind and changing light. There was a breeze which moved the flower so I had to wait for a calm period before I could capture enough images to put together the stack.<\/p>\n

This image was taken with my\u00a0Canon EOS 5DS<\/a>\u00a0using my\u00a0Canon EF 180mm f\/3.5 Macro Lens<\/a>. The camera was set on Aperture Priority\u00a0mode with the aperture set at f\/5, shutter speed at 1\/250th of a second and the ISO set at 400. I did not use a flash to light the subject. I captured eight\u00a0images using manual focus stacking (manually adjusting the focus). I brought the images into a single image using Photoshop.\u00a0I then used Lightroom and Nik Color Efex Pro to finalize\u00a0the image.<\/p>\n
