Caution Tech Stuff: Today I bolted on an extension tube so I could get much closer. The background image is made from 8 different shots with different focus points and then blended together in Photoshop. I was done in the usual way in costume and shovel. Some careful mask painting and the top of the salt shaker only slightly covers my helmet. A little glass cleanup but not too much and remove some chromatic aberration in the salt edge and cap. This is a problem when using an extension tube?
