Here's the first in what I hope will be a series of high key photos of Clematis flowers. Feel free to leave your thoughts, and thanks for viewing.

Thanks, David. Focus stack: No. Just f/16 and a decent tripod.

But weren't you worried about diffraction?

Bob_B · « **Reply #6 on:** May 22, 2022, 06:26:39 am »

Nope. Life's too short to worry about diffraction is my new motto. That, and life's too short to worry about ISO, too.

Now, my honest answer is 'yes, but a little diffraction was preferable to the focus stack and possible change in the ephemeral bloom while shooting.'

Well said, and something to keep in mind, as Freeman Patterson taught me.

Thanks, David. For the curious: here's the original from which the previous photo was processed.

Your processing was superb.
