Thanks.
This winter I've been experimenting with a photography program
called Helicon Focus. I put my camera, with a macro lens, on a
tripod and hook it up to the computer. I put a flower in front of
the camera and start Helicon Focus. It shows me what the camera
sees and lets me pick the closest focus and the farthest focus I
want. It then takes a series pictures, moving the focus a little
between each. In this case, it took 13 pictures. The program then
analyses the photos, picking the areas of best focus from each,
combining them into one picture. That's how I was able to get both
the fringe on the style crests and the edge of the farthest fall
all in sharp focus while keeping the aperture (F-stop) of the lens
at a good middle value.
I hope to get lots of fully focused studio shots of iris species
this year to add to my photo collection.

[iris-species] Iris confusa 'Martyn Rix'
I received Iris confusa 'Martyn Rix' a
few weeks ago as a potted plant.
It was starting a bloom stalk so I left it
inside. I'm attaching a photo.
