I like that Scott....Wish you had the perspective, (looking up), of the first, with the full statue in the second....

Something for a photo challenge on a different forum...

Some pretty significant health issues have kept Charmayne and I from being able to do anything together in over two years. But today we were finally able to go out to Ludlow Falls together to show her the place; I was happy

Lot of significance to your last statement.

Instrument faceplate ?

What does this indicate ?

Presenting your bezel face ?

You get cluster-phobic in there ?

Well that worked out great. What are you using to process your stack? I played with it bit a while ago and sure like the flexibility and results of what can be done with it. Have to make a point of using it more. I've tried the post focus feature on the Panny and found it really odd with marginal results and with reduced size only in JPG it's sort of quirky and useless for decent photographic output.

Took a couple goes, but finally got a few good ones. You will find the menu options for focus stacking in the GX85 a little vague. You set the step amount, (1-10), and the number of steps (1-999), and the order they are taken, 0/+ (front to back) and 0/+/- (center to front/back alternating). They don't tell how far the step amount is, and it varies by lens and aperture. Lots of experimenting. That one was about 50 photos, at a step amount of "3" with a 60mm 2.8 Olympus Macro at f/4.5.

I have two or three programs that can do a focus merge, but I have found Affinity Photo does an excellent job. If you don't know, Affinity is a low cost Photoshop...Also a RAW editor. https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/tut...ideo/295557891

A funny thing happened to me today. I got a private message from Cowboy this morning. He was asking me about the waterfalls in the northeast Ohio area and if I had any recommendations... I told him "we don't have many waterfalls around here" being kind of puzzled? So, I thought I'd do a little research (Googling). It turns out that there are a bunch of them in the area! Heck there is one about a mile away from my home, I drive by it five times a week! Scott, or anyone, check out the website Northeast Ohio Family Fun.com / Best waterfalls in northeast Ohio. It gives maps, parking, how far to hike... It just goes to show sometimes you don't know what's in your own back yard.🌞
