Fuzzy kitty 35 image stack -Explored

            I decided to post this image. I was explaining to a friend (Don) how to focus stack using Magic Lantern on the Canon bodies. Magic Lantern is  a free "tweak" to the firmware on selected Canon bodies. Canon does not particularly like Magic Lantern but people who use it LOVE it!  This little stuffed cat figure was only about 4 inches in diameter to give you an idea of the size.

Magic Lantern is mainly used for videography but does have quite a few modules especially for still shooting. One of the many photography features of Magic Lantern is the ability to focus stack. I used my Sigma 150mm f/2.8 macro lens at f/2.8 which would, of course give a very small dof. But using Magic Lantern's focus stacking module, I set it for 10 images in front and 25 images behind the focus point with 1 step increments and then just pressed Ok. The software does all the work -no rail system needed! 

The result was a perfectly focused subject at f/2.8 with fine detail from front to back. The possibilities of focus stacking in macro photography are endless and for me, Magic Lantern makes the possibilities endless!
