Maarten Strack van Schijndel is a photographer, and has been active as a volunteer for years in Botanic Garden Meise. He makes beautiful with his trained eye photographs that point to the beauty of the plant kingdom, of whole plants to the small details. His photographs show special colors, forms and to see textures, but also characteristics that are important for determination. The images are the result of focus stacking photography. Every photo consists of several layers of sharpness that only can be created by digital photography. This one individual images are generated using computer programs (HeliconRemote, HeliconFocus and Adobe Photoshop) merged and processed, making a complete sharp image.
