Photograph of fungi using Helicon Focus App

Fungi

This photograph was an experimental shot to test an application called Helicon Focus.

When photographing subjects close-up like the fungi shot above you get very little depth-of-field and it can be very difficult to get enough of the subject in focus. By shooting a series of images (in this case 14) at various focusing points and importing them into Helicon, you can combine the images together to make one final shot that is all in focus. This one took a little trial and error but finally I got the result I wanted. Camera used was a Sinar X with Phase One P45+ digital MF back.
