About the creation of this photo

This is so called focus stack assembled of over 50 single photos.

Focus stacking is a technique used in photography to achieve a greater depth of field in the final image. It involves taking multiple shots of the same subject, each with a slightly different focus point, and combining them into a single image with all parts in sharp focus. This technique is especially useful when working with close-up or macro photography where the depth of field is naturally shallow. To create a focus stack, you need specialized software that can take the multiple images and blend them together seamlessly, ensuring that only the areas in focus are retained. The resulting image is a highly detailed photograph, showing all parts of the subject in sharp focus from front to back.
