Since I was a boy I have liked looking closely at things, so it is no surprise that when I began to make photographs, I was drawn to macro and closeup photography. I especially like detail, so when I learned about depth of field stacking, or focus stacking, I tried to learn how to use it. This shot is actually a composite of eleven shots, all taken with different focal planes, to create adequate depth of field this close to the subject. It often takes a while, since many small things don’t always sit still and when you are close up the slightest movement still takes up a fair amount of space in the frame. This means making a shot, waiting until the wind lets up and making another. Especially tedious with columbine, which are particularly jittery. Still, they are lovely, and the result is worth it.
