These are the first shots taken using my new tripod. I needed a tripod specifically for macro shooting close to the ground and found this on amazon. I think it's brilliant, well made, versatile and very reasonably priced.
Its the Tycka TK102 which you can see in action below, you can even invert the mount to get the camera really low to the ground.

I also made a video for anyone interested in seeing how I create my images using Zerene Stacker. Just click the image below to start the video.

An interesting photo. I have such flowers also grow outside the city.

Cheers buddy.

Really good post, detailed explained and it is a real work behind your beautiful pictures. I am happy that curie curation has noticed you, you and your work really deserved that! Have a nice weekend!

Thank you very much for your kind words. You have a lovely weekend too!

very nice results with stacking how many images did you use for the top photo of the muscari flowers ?

Thank you. The first (main) image is a cropped, rotated version of the image stack featured in the video, which I think was 88 separate shots. The second image is different to the first which was created from about 40 separate shots.
The olympus e-m5ii camera is great because it's got a built-in focus bracketing feature which enables you to fire a set of shots quite easily and quickly.

88 that explains a lot :) the results are great , sorry i never watch videos to be honest .
