The cacti are focus stacked, the rock, time stacked.

What do you call a gathering of Cactii? Interesting.

I don’t normally focus stack with my macro lens outside. Even the slightest breeze moves plants around and you lose definition.

Cactii are sturdy, with large tubular or globular stems that don’t sway in the breeze. I threw a rock into the composition for fun.

The rock needs a connection.
