Description: This was shot using the ‘decelerating’ camera technique. This enables me to achieve full depth of field from the rear to the front – nothing is or should be fuzzy. The specimen was shot as a HD video and the video, about 2 seconds long was processed in Helicon focus. This was a first-attempt and I am happy with the results which are getting better with each photo. FOV: 10 mm
