Has lots of examples and they also have an ebay store. I haven't tried to shoot a lenticular yet so don't have any software. There seems to be quite a few online services for printing lenticulars, but I don't know how affordable it is for small quantity print runs. The orthographic images are shot by moving the entire head parallel to the subject (using the lowest linear slide) without rotating the camera.

The lenticular images are shot the same way except the camera is rotated toward the subject for each movement. Yes, I've worked on several designs to do this, but I needed to make sure that using the geared head was an improvement over the ball head before adding this.

I’d like to have one unit dedicated for studio work, another to carry in camera bag and yet another one to control my Nikon (code for which I’m hoping to finish soon). Full-size Arduinos are big and expensive and I wanted this controller to be cheap and portable so I built my next controller using Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V, USB Host Mini, and a small home made PCB with buttons and LED. Finished mini-assistant can be seen on title picture and uses the same code as its big brother.

I looked at your Bratcam setup and I'm 'gobsmacked' at its sophistication - fascinating and innovative. My available ££funds will not permit anything close to your apparatus but I still hope to build something suitable. DoF Stacking. "Bracketing " is the taking of a series of shots with an incremental, usually subtle change in a variable between each one.

DoF Stacking

Bracketing can be done with changes in shutter speed, ISO, aperture value, focus, etc, and though a bit challenging, several variables can be bracketed in combination, as well. Usually bracketing is done in order to cover a range of the variable values in an effort to capture the best of several shots. In such cases, bracketing can be done hand held, "on the fly" so to speak, and is most likely done in "continuous shooting" mode. More probably, the photos are viewed after download side by side as thumbnails (or further scrutinized in a browser), the "pick(s) of the litter" is kept, and the rest are discarded.

Extended Depth of Field Digital Photography

The Basics Close-up photography is now a lot more powerful and exciting than ever before. Depth of field has always been a big problem when photographing small things. So, when using traditional photographic techniques, the challenge has always been “to determine the optimum lens aperture for effecting the golden mean between stopping down the lens for depth of field and opening it up for good resolution.”[1] Recent advances in digital photography greatly relax this tradeoff between resolution and depth of field. The concept is simple.

Photo eyepieces – Olympus OM photomicro group. Introduction Olympus has made at least 4 ranges of photo eyepieces (also known as photographic eyepieces or projection eyepieces), each suited to different types of objective.

Olympus P, FK and NFK Photo Eyepieces The photo eyepieces fit inside the circular dovetail that is found on some Olympus microscopes, on some Olympus trinocular heads and photo tubes, and on the eyepiece adapters. NFK eyepiece in a PM-ADF eyepiece adapter on an Olympus BH-TR45 trinocular head The bottom of the Photomicro Adapter L (or the PM10, PM20 and PM30 photomicrographic systems) clamps on to the circular dovetail. The “125” that is marked on the FK, NFK and PE photo eyepieces indicates that they are designed to give optimum performance at a 125 mm projection distance. The photo eyepieces are designed to provide a rectangular camera image that is cropped from the circular image produced by the objective; they do not produce a circular image in the camera.

First shot: Full Size. DSLR Remote Pro - Focus stacking in live view. Focus stacking is a technique for increasing the depth of field by taking a series of photographs with different focus settings and then combining them together using the areas in focus from each image. This technique is useful for macro and close-up photography, landscapes, product photography and any other image where the depth of field is critical and the subject isn't moving.

The live view display in DSLR Remote Pro makes it very simple to automate the process of taking a sequence of images with different focus settings by running a script. There is no need to touch the camera and the mirror stays locked up during the sequence which minimizes the chances of camera shake or movement.
