Focus Stacked Panorama Test - Flowers

Developing photo-stacking and stitching techniques using still life as the subject.

2025

Photography · 2025 · Various

A series of still life composites using Helicon Focus software for the focus stacking and PTGui for the panorama stitching.

The aim was to test out the process for stitching panoramas that have also been focus stacked. The intention behind this is to prepare for larger scale works with people in them.

These flowers were taken over a period of years as I developed the process, starting with a Fotodiox adapter, then progressing towards a 4x5 stitching back with a Sinar P2.
