With travel limited during the pandemic, I turned my photo attention to the flowers in my back yard here near Houston. To preserve focus across the entire bloom, I captured 70 individual images at different focus points using my Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8 and the focus shift feature on the D850. I then combined them into a single image using HeliconFocus software.
