Utah Milksnake - a photo on Flickriver

Utah Milksnake

            Last year I was able to find Utah milksnakes in a couple of new counties for me.  I already posted one from one of those new counties and this is the specimen from the other new county.  I was elated to finally find one in this part of Utah as I had tried to find one there for many many years.  Hopefully I can photo document these beautiful snakes in a couple of additional counties this year.  I can't wait for Spring!  

For this photo I used the built-in focus stacking feature of the Olympus E-M1X.  You are able to configure the number of photos to take and how much depth each should be from each other both in front of and behind your focus point.  It takes a quick burst of RAW images and then combines them in-camera into a high-quality JPEG.  I tried taking those same RAW images and doing focus stacking in Photoshop using the auto-align layers and auto-merge options and didn't get as nice of results.  I also tried using the stacking functionality in Luminar NEO and that didn't turn out as nicely either.  This was also taken with the camera resting on the rock next to the snake so wasn't totally stable.  So I can say that the Olympus focus stacking does a great job.
