David, this is certainly one of the most wonderful feedbacks I ever received. Thank you very much and good luck with the good old macro lens ;)

Super tutorial! I just didn't quite understand one thing: At the beginning, you use focus stacking to achieve a perfectly sharp scene from front to back. But then, when taking "illuminated" shots, you shoot at the same aperture but only with a single focus. When stacking the layers in Photoshop, these "illuminated" layers are blended together in "normal" mode, which means that besides the desired "illumination" in the masked area, they can also be blurred because the flashlight was focused only at one distance. So, I think for even sharper results, series of "illuminated" shots should be taken during focus stacking, always before refocusing on the next distance.

@marclavoie3808

I thought the same. You would want to take the illuminated frames at the different stack depths.

...excellent. Can't wait for Autumn now...

Cheers. I'm looking forward to it too.

WOW, this was a fantastic tutorial ... loved how you showed from start to finish and explained why you were doing the steps and shots like you did. VERY helpful, very informative. I had tried this illusion prior to watching this and they turned out 'good', but now, I with your tutorial, I think I will be able to get great photos. Thanks! Your pace, your instructions and explanations were spot on. Often, when I watch videos, the videos are filled with all kinds of 'fluff' and I need to watch at 1.25 or 1.5 and skip forward, didn't have to do any of that with yours. Thanks again.

Wow... Mushrooms are stunningx

One shot seemed to reveal a mosquito sitting on top of the mushrooms. Quite a unique detail if you left that in. :)

Superb tutorial! Thank you very much.

A great tutorial, I couldn't wait to try it. I don't have a macro lens and the only mushroom I found was a bit to old for light to shine through so I had to illuminate it from below. My light was too white and I had a lousy composition so had to 'move' my mushroom to a dead branch in PS. I photographed the same mushroom from 2 sides to duplicate it. It was a lot of post processing work which, with better planning, I could have done in camera, but I'm reasonably pleased with my first attempt.

Fantastic technique! Thank you for sharing your wonderful tips.

Once again Oliver you have shown a great idea, well executed and explained step by step so that others might be able to learn and extend our own capabilities. Thank-You, Stu

I think 17.48 is lovely and almost alien. 17.52 is beautiful and looks like a little light is inside, second place and very nearly my favourite. 17.35 is a wonderful and interesting group of mushrooms, but, my favourite must be the stunning 17.43 which is so sharp and illuminated with darkened backdrop, which is the purpose here, and the insect also gives it even more interest. Stunning! Just my opinion but the next person will have their favourite which will be different, as you know. Thanks Oliver. 👌
