I've been playing with my new focus stacking software from Helicon (Helicon Focus 6 & Helicon Remote). This easy-to-use (and not overly pricey) software allows me to take multiple macro photos of an object with the focal plane set to different points and then the software combines the sharpest parts of the stack of images to produce a final composite image with an incredible depth of field. I've been playing with it on some of my truly tiny micro-fossils (just a few millimeters) with good effect and so I decided to go rummage through my bowl of Peace River fossils for a few other objects to test out the software. I ended up selecting several mammal teeth that I've found in the Peace River over the years--horse, camel, peccary, bison. These fossils had enough details and were wide enough that focus stacking seemed like a good way to show off the teeth. This post is more to show off the results of the Helicon focus-stacking software than the fossils themselves but maybe this eye candy will also motivate others to go hunt the Peace (which is finally almost reaching the proper water level to go fossil hunting). Cheers. -Ken
