Thanks Bruce - the hats go back to the 2nd week of Covid shutdown and I was bored stiff so tried a selfieCracking photo Peter….and even more in the stack than the hats on your head
Thanks Phillippe - this was the last of numerous attempts. Lots of dodging and burning in PsThe texture of the whites is very well rendered (like ragged paper), which, with the management of high lights, is not won in advance.
Thank you Rich - I use Helicon Focus, usually Method B (depth map) Z5, 105 2.8 VR macro (F lens) , 1/6 s, f8, ISO 100. Helicon RAW to DNG, Lightroom and Photoshop in various iterations until I got the result I liked.Great image, wonderful job stacking. which software did you use? do you remember the settings
