Extreme
close up photography -- macrophotography -- is difficult. Sometimes you're only dealing with a slender slice that is in focus, 1/16th of
an inch or less. I recently purchased a macro sliding rail that
makes focusing easier with a tripod, moving the camera and lens
instead of the tripod or the subject. Now that I can shoot a number
of photos with a progressive series of an object at different focus
points and combine those images into one sharper image thanks to
focus stacking software. I'm still learning this new technique but
so far I'm doing OK. You can see the difference in the depth of
field with the photos below, unstacked and stacked, of the eye in a peacock feather.
