I am working, in fits and spurts, on an M.Ed. in curriculum and instruction at USF. In the past year or so, I have become a bit of a bird nerd in my reading. I don’t mind bird watching, but I find learning about their behavior even more fascinating.

Thanks for joining us Matt! I too find animal behavior to be quite fascinating. My background exposed me to animal observations, but my new challenge is to understand behavior through the fossil record. I think that your interest in digitization will be a great way to get your students involved in learning proper curatorial methods, as well as…[Read more]

Matt Croxton replied to the topic Focus Stacking in the forum Digitizing, Photographing, and Curating Fossils 5 years, 11 months ago
5 years, 11 months ago5 years, 11 months agoI’m sorry! I realize this small piece of peacock ore is not a fossil. The reason I chose to use it is because I thought the highly-textured, iridescent surface would show off any focus errors clearly – and it does.
Here is some technical information on the shot:
Lens: 200mm macro, f/7.1, 1/4 s exposure for each frame. Once a correct exposure w…[Read more]

5 years, 11 months ago5 years, 11 months agoHi All,
Sorry for my delay in following through on a focus stacking forkflow. I moved and have just started school, so I’ve been very busy!
First, I’ll start with an example image that is a stack made of 12 images. Each image was manually focused using high magnification live view, and I still made mistakes in focusing too far between frames.…[Read more]
