Focus Stacking Images - Digital Photography Review

At first glance, you’d be forgiven to assume that these images were from an image generation AI site, where the prompt most likely read; ‘ futuristic city super realistic no people or vehicles sanitized af’ or whatever those prompters, prompt.

But these images are in fact taken from inside of instruments using probe lenses.

These photos are from an article recently released, Probe lenses and focus stacking: the secrets to incredible photos taken inside instruments.

I enjoyed how creative this approach was and how beautiful the images are. It left an impression on me that I will think of often I believe.

In an online world when companies constantly share the results of their softwares capabilities in ai generated photos, which leads to people using the companies software to create and then share more ai generated photos, which leads to officials feeling emboldened to also partake in that process all of them just sharing entirely ai generated images…

it’s nice to see really exciting ways human (can’t believe this reality has led me to feel the need to point that out 😵‍💫) professionals take creative photos and execute ideas they’ve had for a while in new and exciting ways.

To share real photos taken in really creative ways while utilizing tools to improve and enhance their craft, not solely generate the results.

There's more images on the website's article, I didn't want to take away from any interested parties potential traffic for their site. It's well written and well done.

    Depth masking and blending I think….

    I think these are stacked microscope shots.

    From the article but it's worth a read,

    "After lots of trial and error, Brooks landed on a process involving a combination of focus stacking and panoramic stitching. He uses the probe to rotate around the inside of the instrument, almost like a clock. However, the probe only focuses on roughly 2mm at a time. He wants it all in focus so that it doesn't look like a classic macro shot, so he's taking 20 to 30 images to get it all in focus. He also takes dark frames, like astrophotographers, to prevent hot pixels. Plus, given that the probe lens isn't made for photography, the light transmission isn't even across the frame. So, he photographs a piece of paper to identify where the vignetting starts, determining where he needs to take additional photos to compensate."

    And about how many images it took

    "If you're thinking that sounds like a lot of images, you're right. Brooks says that there isn't a single final image with fewer than 100 shots stacked together, and some have more than 1,000 individual frames stacked. It's an incredibly time-consuming and technical process, both while shooting and in post-production."

    Your basically on it but with the photographers intent on not making it seem like it's micro but expansive
