Jewelry Photograph

Necklace photographed with an EZ Lightbox, Nikon D300, 70-200mm f/2.8 lens at 105mm and f/5.6, ISO 200. Took seven varying focus lengths and combined in the trial version of Focus Pro x64.
All in all I'm very impressed with this software. Pity it's too expensive to purchase! For just a little more I can invest in a true macro lens and have it for years. Still, great product and software, Helicon! I recommend this software to anyone without the means to purchase a dedicated macro lens, or those that have still life photos that won't move during a multi-focus, multi-exposure shot.
Remember - use as wide an aperture as possible to blur the background (f/1.4-6.3), turn off all image stabilization, set a low ISO and of course, use a tripod!
Good luck!
