The Nikon D850 has a automatic focus stacking utility, which thanks to Steve Perry, I figured out how to use. The image of Mesquite dunes is a stack of 17 exposures done by the D850. Camera was about 12" off the sand, about 30 minutes after sunrise. Cropped, exposure, etc adjusted in Lightroom and finished in Topaz Adjust in Photoshop.
Wow...I love it I need to get back there!

Thanks All. Focus stacking was one of those "ah ha" moments when Photoshop finished the process and the results jumped off the screen.

A very good landscape selection for this experiment, RG!
It is amazing what the new camera models can do.
Thank you for posting and also for the information!

A very unique photo. Love the depth that is provided. Almost makes me want to go out and buy a D850 but will keep working on learning my D810s capabilities.

Nice shot 👌👌 Did you go to Scotties Castle ?
The road to Scotty's Castle is completely washed out, and probably will not reopen until 2020.

As always I appreciate your posts and particularly like this one. However, I don't yet know what focus stacking is. I currently use a D-800 but am seriously looking to upgrade to an 850. You mention 17 photo stack. I thought I understood HDR with three, five or more shots but I don't know if focus stacking requires 17 shots to be used in processing or not. What is it you gain by focus stacking? Is it available in the monthly "rental" of PS and LR? Thank you for any information you could provide.
