My Dad started to capture the beauty and wonders in very small things like moss and plant seeds. I think his work is splendid. Recently he uses a photographing technique called “stacking”. He combines several macro images with different levels of focus depth. This allows for a wide range of focus on a very small object and hence, it gives the viewer the opportunity to see some unexpected beauty.
I hope you enjoy!

Winter beauty
This bunch of little five lobed cups looks fragil. But it survived snow, rain, frost and storms of this winter out in the open. The whole object is about 5 cm in width.

Stacking is combining different images of the same object. For each image, only one depth can be in focus at a time. By focusing at different depths and then combining the images into one, you get a clearer image of the whole thing.
