I took them using remote shutter through WiFi+phone app. The tripod comment was more to be able to frame and get better angles.

It was so much easier than I expected it to be. Essentially automatic. If you try it out, I’d love to see your results.

Thanks!

The vanadinite (red) was 26 photos and the fluorite (green) was 50

I used the focus bracketing mode on my camera. I specify the number of shots to take and how much the focus changes between shots. One shutter press and my camera automatically takes all of the photos and adjusts the focus for me.

And this setup I only put my camera and the rock on a table next to a window. I still need to buy a tripod, but it’s hard to justify spending more soon after buying a camera…

Yeah, OM Workspace is the editor you get with Olympus/OM System cameras. Admittedly, I didn’t use it very much, but I get the sense it isn’t top tier. I’m just so thankful that there are great open source options.

I also love focus snacking

I was very surprised. I searched for a free focus stacking application multiple times with few results and lots of recommendations for paid software. With how little chimpstackr is recommended, I expected poor results, but it did noticeably better than Olympus’s own raw editing software.

Fixed in under 12 hours! You rock

This is why a toggle is best.

This change has completely ruined the app for me. I really really wish it were a toggle.

Testing from lemm.ee

Edit: solved I guess? Logging out and back in a second time worked for some reason.

I tried replying with sync + those suggestions. It failed.

Here’s a test reply with the connect app
