I vibe-coded and it felt good. Woops.

A blog post on replacing a decade-old zsh function for photo-blending for image quality with a better python script in an evening:

This is an focus stacked image of 21 images. All done inside #Darktable with Lua script in #Linux. A little bit of a hassle to setup but then it is a one click procedure to get a focus stacked image in tif format. I have searched and waited for this and all glory the original author of the Lua script and the man who made it work and explained it, Ayeda Okambawa.

A chickweed flower. five pinked (notched) white petals around 10 fuzzy yellow anthers, which form a loose ring around a green ovary with a five-branched fuzzy white stigma.

It is winter in Australia and a delight of winter here are the winter flowering gum trees. These images were taken yesterday of red flowering gum flowers collected from a neighbourhood tree. #photography #naturephotography #bloomscrolling #gumtrees #eucalypt #flowers #macrophotography #focusstack

A random focus stack i did yesterday, i've only done a few focus stacks (mostly astro focus stacks of Comet Atlas) so i need to practice to make sure i know all the steps before my next workshop...

there were 11 photos in this stack, and i think it still has issues, but sooner or later i've got to figure out how to photograph rocks since i have a huge collection 🤣

A macro photo of some details of a rock crystal cluster with several visible sharp crystal points, the one in the center has a tiny rainbow in it if you squint. The background is dark blue velveteen. This is one of many I collected in the Hot Springs area of Arkansas in the early 1990s. Photo by Peachfront.

A dear friend gave us this cyclamen last weekend. Worthy of a picture, I thought. I love how the droplets cling to the petals and look like marbles. #photography #naturephotography #bloomscrolling #cyclamen #focusstack

This colourful flower, right by the footpath near my home, caught my eye while I was out walking the dog this week. I returned yesterday to capture these images. I understand it is Billbergia Vittata, a native to Brazil. #photography #focusstack #flowerphotography #billbergiavittata

It's a Small World

You can used extension tubes with a normal lens for macro photography, but if you already have a macro lens and use it with a couple of extension tubes then you get some larger than life shots. The largest of these cups is probably less than 3 millimetres diameter and the shot is not cropped. Focus stacking becomes essential as the depth of field of each layer is a fraction of a millimetre.
