Using Helicon Focus
Taking close-up photographs can result in a limited depth of field. Using the Helicon Focus software has eliminated most depth of field problems as you can see from the two Orchids shown here. I took six images with the camera on a Tri-pod with and F 11 as the F-Stop. Each image was focused on a different part of the floral arrangement. Both Daryl Gulin and George Lepp are using the software for almost all of their nature work where the subject is not moving. You must purchase the software on line. I ran the images through the H.F. software and then optmized the image in Photoshop CS3.
