Last year, I looked forward to Frigid Day as a way to use MiTA. This gave me a chance to prepare a mouthwatering (to me) Margarita and drink it after making the SOTD photo the night before the shave. [OK, I may have had more than one.]
But this year, I have to chase some silly point and stack the items I used in my shave today. You did mean focus-stack, right?!
๐
Narrow aperture?
Fairly wide aperture. It was carefully chosen so that when the soap label is in sharp focus, the white background behind it falls out of focus. That depth of field then required a stack of 5 images (5 depth of fields) to allow for sharp focus from the front of the image to the soap label.
Ah, so it's photoshopped! DQ!
I've done the stacking thing before. It was more fun for me to do a bit of Photoshop flex :)
I updated the imgur link to show all of the images.
