Thanks very much! It’s pretty hot right now, we’ve got a few days of 30C weather in front of us right now. Been a very dry summer (by Vancouver standards, at any rate).

Thank you! Process involves shooting a range of images in the field (generally more than I need), then merging them in either Photoshop or a tool like Helicon Focus. I then select the edge shots (where I’d like the focus to begin and end), and then selectively edit and/or remove shots from the stack; perhaps the wind moved the subject a bit, or a bug entered shot. Following that is my usual RAW processing regime, which varies from shot to shot.

Thanks! Glad you liked it (and I didn’t even see your pre-edit, but for clarity, this was taken at Barnet Marine Park in Burnaby, BC).

Sure looks like it to me too! Thanks for the ID help, I’m awful at identifying the plants I shoot.

Thank you very much! I did enhance the light I was given somewhat when converting it to B&W, but mostly it was good conditions, and some good luck (as I had to bail on this location quickly to avoid being eaten by mosquitoes lol).

Thanks! For sure, dramatic sunrise clouds are one of my favourite fall features.

Very cool - thanks for filling in the info gap!

Thanks! So glad your eye caught that web as well. :-)

I am! This is approximately 30 shots stacked, shot at 1/13s exposure @ f/5.6.

Not fake, but focus stacked. This is 29 shots blended, each at 1/13s, f/5.6.
