Back to the Earth

Here is another toadstool which I found out at Fairy Dell. I wanted to keep the background blurry which needed a wide aperture. When working in macro photography, the photos have such a short depth of field making it hard to get the whole subject in focus without using a small aperture.

To overcome this I needed to take 12 photos, each one focusing a bit further along the toadstool so I could get all of it sharp. I then stacked these photos in Photoshop to create the final image with the background blurry and the toadstool in focus.
