Wonderful and inspiring work Bill. Thanks for letting us watch.
Is this one also using focus stacking? (It looks pretty sharp throughout.)
Its not fair that you own the two sharpest lens on earth, so all the rest of us have to settle for third place at best!
I'm struck by the irony of the situation. You got your Oscar for work on complex automated motion control systems for movie cameras didn't you? Here you are, alone in the desert, with a tripod and a still camera, and painstakingly going thru a complex series of motions that must carefully coordinated, and all by hand!
