    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…

      Thank you!

      Not that I’ve seriously done stacking, but one thing that might help (based on long exposure experiments instead) is a shutter release cable, assuming your camera has a socket for such. It can reduce the vibration from manually pressing the actual shutter button, and may save the first few shots of your sequence. If your camera is wi-fi connected, you may have an app to do the same.

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