Yeah - done that now. You can see the updated one on my FLickr page. I don't want to post yet another version of this image here!

OK, so this is what I did to the shot. The base file is a raw. 1/25s at f8 with the 24-105 at 29mm.
First, this is the unprocessed view:
And now after LR tweaks:
The tweaks were fairly limited in this case - just some shadow/highlights and a bit of clarity. In this case, no masks...
Only in the sense that the S5 gives excellent latitude for shadow pushing. I reckon it's about the best FF camera out there for that, with the Z6 getting very close. I try very hard at capture time to avoid burnt highlights so I often end up with quite underexposed shadows. The S5 definitely...
Thank you!
I'm happy to share, but it's a bit of an ill-defined process. The base is usually a mix of various LR tweaks and then some old Nik Collection tools (when they were free from Google). I'll try to document it but it's not a precise science!

Thanks Lyle. Not sure I have any tips in particular. As regards step size & count, if you use in-camera stacking then the number of shots is fixed (usually 9) and the step size I usually leave at the default setting of 5. My understanding is that the actual step size will vary depending on...
All these are taken with the Olympus EM5.3 and 12-40 using focus stacking/bracketing. All are stacked in camera, apart from the rhododendron which was stacked from raws using Photoshop (because the in-camera stacking screwed up!).
