Focus Stacking Convert
Mar 27, 2019 10:57:21 #
Having read about focus stacking for at least a couple of years and having seen many impressive examples I finally decided to give the technique a try. I probably put it off so long because I frequently use hyperfocal distance settings and have been pleased with the results.
Over the past 2 days I set up my equipment outside and did some comparisons between the two techniques using the same subject matter under identical conditions. The results were very convincing to say the least. I'm now a firm believer in focus stacking and would urge others who may not have tried it yet to do so.

Nice.
If you don't mind sharing, may I ask how many shots and which program did you use?

No question about it, check the little half round bush in the background.

Amen! True front to back focus be it macro or landscape.

Bravo Zulu! I’m also interested in your technique?

Jump into youtube and you will find videos of FS using LR/PS and just PS.

The ferns in the foreground of your stacked shot seem to not be in focus. I do see improvement in the middle ground plantings. Are you supposed to gain total depth of field clarity? If so, this image didn’t produce that result (imho).
