Detail of a viburnum farreri, taken at 4x magnification (real-life width around 4.3mm), uncropped:

OM-1, 90mm macro, MC-20 2x tele-converter, 274 shots stacked.

The plant looks like this a bit further away:

Great work, Phil.

I've never been to Wakanda, Did you get to shoot anything interesting aside from the Vibranium?

The term "mirrorless" is totally obsolete. It's time we call out EVIL for what it is. (Or, if you can't handle "Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens" then Frenchify it and call it "LIVE" for "Lens Interchangeable, Viewfinder Electronic" or "Viseur électronique").

Thanks very much!

Well, unfortunately not ...

Have been to Wakanda in the cinema, but have to admit that I had to look up Vibranium.

The problem with viburnum farreri is that I don't know its common name in English. The English Wikipedia entry for the plant was really no help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viburnum_farreri

In German the plant is known as "Duft-Schneeball" (loosely translates to "scented snowball").

Re: Detail of a viburnum farreri

good in depth details, looks like a bunch of tongues coming out to get you

What did you stack with ?, helicon?, just that I was stacking an orchid with dpp4 today and wasn't impressed by the amount of details it lost and hence rework it needed

In America, we tend to call all species of viburnum "snowball bush" and not bother with the variety.

A botanist at the Missouri botanical garden says this particular variety is called "Nanum". Not sure I believe them.

Re: Detail of a viburnum farreri

Real nice! I’ve only heard the name viburnum as the common name. Nudum is a species occurring in the southeast US. Some list viburnum in Caprifoliaceae family and more recently in Adoxaceae.  Nice stack!

Sort of layered tongues  too ... You can see that even better in this stack I made also:

I uses Zerene. Very satisfied with it - both with its stacking capabilities and its retouching options.

Thanks very much for the info and the link! So it's snowball after all in English. Should've guessed.
