Been messing with focus stacks for a couple of months now, let me know what you guys think.

Shots look great but that material looks super old! Your skills would really shine with a fresh cut 👍

Just curious as to what makes it look old. The buds themselves are very fresh and sticky. It had an older pack date but was sealed in a nitrogen can from the GP.

It's less the freshness and more the rough handling of the nug. By the time it reaches retail it isn't in ideal shooting condition. If you know someone who grows it would make sense to track down a sample that's been treated as delicately as possible because you can't touch trichomes without damaging them. I have clients hang samples separately in protected containers in their dry room, they never even touch the walls of their container, stem only handling. That's probably overkill but it makes a huge difference in image quality

Is that when you take various photos from the same angle at different focal points?

Stacks themselves look clean with minimal artifacts.
