Week 4: Lady in Red
This week I am playing with a focus stacking panorama. This image was made from 13 sets of focus stacking shots or about 100 separate images. Once each of the focus stacked sets were merged into one of the 13 images, the 13 merged images were then merged as a panorama into the single image that you see here. All images were taken with Nikon D3100's normal kit lens.
The goal is to be able to produce fascinating high DoF images that look more like what we see with our eyes and less like the shallow DoF images that we normally see in a photograph.
Hopefully, you can significantly enlarge this image and still see all the detail that is present without any DoF blur.

Re: Project 52 by Frank Miller
Looking at it at the largest size I could get it on the monitor, the detail is quite remarkable. Not only that but it is a well-constructed and arranged image with superb lighting.
You, yet again, have my admiration.

Re: Project 52 by Frank Miller
And you produced a really wide DoF Frank!

Re: Project 52 by Frank Miller
Thanks guys and gals! It feels good to be appreciated. I may have painted myself into a corner. I don't have a clue what I can come up with for next week!

Re: Project 52 by Frank Miller
Yup STUNNING is the right word. Great experimentation you have going on and I am learning so much. Thank you. Originally Posted by Sam Smith

Frank, have you done setting the bar at astronomically great heights yet?
I'm still late with my week 3 image, let alone week 4
Seriously well done, but I'm not joking above when I say you set the standard high.

Re: Project 52 by Frank Miller
And now --- should I even dare post any more pictures???? - This is soooooo incredible.
Wouldn't even know how to start on focus stacking - let alone creating a panorama out of the resulting images.
But it sure is worth the effort if you can come up with this!

Re: Project 52 by Frank Miller
Thanks folks! I hope the effort is encouraging you to get out and try something new, perhaps a bit out of your comfort zone, but that's how we all learn.

Week 5: Dragnet Spoof
This is the city.
Cambridge in Colour.
I play here. I’m a photographer.
January 28th, 2012.
It was cold in CiC. We were working the day watch out of homicide when a call came in.
A 46 year old man awoke to find that his personal computer was dead. We had to investigate and determine the cause.
We went to the man’s home. He opened the door.
Name’s Friday, CiC investigation.
He let us in. He said it seems like he has lost some of his memory.
The cover was off the PC. Inside, it appears there was an attempted robbery and murder. Not a pretty sight.
A Johnny Carson and Jack Webb spoof of Jack's long running radio and TV Dragnet police show:

Re: Project 52 by Frank Miller
Hi Frank,
An interesting, if rather frightening, story
It seems ironic that while some are trying to turn reality into models with narow DoF with tilt-shift effects, you are doing the opposite, with stacking and very un-model like wide DoF.
Oh, by the way, this reminds me; I'm a great fan of your work
Cheers,

Yes, certainly a novel idea.
