Focus Stacked Flower with Jarrod Erbe

We noticed Jarrod Erbe's awesome flower photo in the Official Platypod Users Group on Facebook and reached out to hear about it. Here's what Jarrod had to say:

 

My wife loves to grow orchids and I'm always interested in the variations in color and structure among the species. I selected this particular plant for a focus-stacked shot. The flowers were photographed using a Canon EF100mm f/2.8 macro lens and a Canon R6. The Platypod Extreme x Platypod Handle combo makes setting up this type of shot a breeze.  A series of images (75+) were shot using the R6's focus bracketing feature and combined in Helicon Focus. The focus stacked image was further edited in Adobe Lightroom to produce the final result.
