Another macro image

08/01/2026

Playing with a bit of macro photography today.

This technique is photo shifting where you focus on the nearest point to the camera with a fairly narrow depth of focus. You the shift the point of focus very slightly and take another image. The final image is the result of 200 photographs which are then combined together to get a pin sharp image from front to back.

Lighting was done with a Rotolight which was adjusted to get the perfect exposure in camera. The Lens was a Tamron 90mm Macro Lens.

Fine adjustments are then made in post editing. The original image is huge at over 8000 pixels on the long side.

I’ll be making some big decisions over the next few weeks on where to concentrate my efforts for Mark Dunn Photography Ltd.

My heads was saying more weddings .. but my heart still says concentrate on my sports photography which is where by real experience and passion lies.

The wedding side of the photography world is really over crowded and proving difficult to break into properly.

Lots of pictures in my archive of Jacob Bethel - good to see him make his mark in Australia and see some good news on his performance - it’s a shame England’s overall performance has not been on par.

Well that’s my application for the next level in my journey with the Royal Photographic Society submitted - “Associate - ARPS”.

Best start preparing my images and supporting statement.

I started my return to weight training beginning of November and employed the services of a personal trainer to start me off.

Consistency is key and I’ve religiously stuck to the x5 day split plan other than a few days off at Christmas. I also add in 3 cardio sessions on Peloton bike as well as a minimum of 8000 steps walking per day.

It helps joining a brilliant gym and in Derby we are lucky to have the brilliant UltraFlex gym which is the best gym I’ve ever been a member of.

I’m starting to see the results now with body composition heading in the right direction and body fat down to 16.1%. I’ve dropped alcohol completely too which I’ve not missed at all and I’ve been tracking macros since November.

Anyone who knows me will know that if I set my self on a task then I always give it 100%…some may say obsessive or over the top.

To me it’s dedication and commitment … the same applies to my photography. I learn every day and give my craft 100% effort be it sports, weddings events or wildlife. My Dad always said nothing worth having comes easy and if a jobs worth doing then it’s worth doing properly.

Still a long way to go with my personal targets but making a great start.
