Textures – backlit leaves

The Doc has been working on his macro technique. This time Post Focus has been brought indoor to create backlit leaves. A cheap LED panel is used to backlit the leaves from the bottom. Samples of recent images are below, enjoy. Click on images to see full size.

PS The Doc working on a further update to the last trip through Channel Country which is now in flood.

Textures – Ballina barks

Not much time for photography on this trip, more like painting, pressure cleaning and gardening. The Doc did manage some trips, around Ballina and Broadwater National Park. Some barks and perhaps a Coral Lichen. Enjoy. You must click on the images to see then at full size (the thumbnails look soft).

Textures – barks again

Previously The Doc missed some shots but today everything went as expected, confirming he now has good in field technique when using the Post Focus feature  on the Panasonic G9, even the hand-held shots worked today. The images are between 30 and 75 frames stacked into one image. Click on the images to see full size.

Textures: focus stacking in the field

The Doc has been working on a new way to image stack in the field. He is using the Post focus feature on a Panasonic G9. Here are some of the sample images from recent field testing. Most images have somewhere between 17 and 50 images stacked together. The images are so sharp, that they look fake. The Doc is trying to soften the images in post-processing to make them look more realistic. Click on the images to see full size.

Arnhem Land Plateau

A remote creek and waterfall on the Arnhem Land Plateau. It was very humid that day, so taking a refreshing dip in the creek was great, just not to close to the waterfall behind the photographer. It was a big drop. This a stitched panorama, enjoy.

A report and more pictures here.

The Doc previously posted a sunset at Quilpie during his last road trip. There was actually a series of photographs, here is a selection. Yes the colours changed from orange to bright red and finally to pink near the end of the sunset. Click on the images to see the full size, enjoy.
