As much as I would like to add to your list of reasons to avoid Rongnongno - ignorant, unpleasant, inarticulate, troll - he's just not worth the effort. He is a joke.
He's just not worth anyone's time.

All good points, I just wondered if he was into self assessment!

Funny that the guy who pretends to be above anyone on all the 'scores' get loose of a sudden. It shows how hypocritical he really is.
Now go and preach 'peace on earth'. Good luck.

Thank you for your excellent link which has opened the doorway to many articles and forums for macro work.

Hi all,
I am a new digital user which has been necessitated by my advanced cancer which disallows my use of my large format cameras now. I use focus stacking for nearly every image that I make. The lenses that I use, Zeiss Loxia, are absolutely at their best at f 5.6 and the Zeiss Makro Planar optimizes at f 4.0. In order to project the sharpest image onto the sensor I always use my lenses at their optimal aperture, which always requires focus stacking unless I wish to deliberately render some portion of the image as soft. I usually stack front to back on the Makro and back to front with the Loxia, this way, I always turn the focus ring the same direction. I have discovered that Zerene gets very confused if one or more of the images in the stack are out of order. I was going to attach some examples of a few pictures that I have made with this technique but I cannot see how to do that on this thread. www.freddusel.photography
Best wishes to all.

A very interesting biography and I love the photos. You would seem to fit my definition of a Renaissance Man and for that I congratulate you. I wish you well.

Great images. You have done a lot of nice large format work.
I can see where you might have used focus stacking with macro and closeup images.
Are you still doing landscape and do you use it there as well?

Hi Scotty, I use focus stacking for all my images although, often I do not use the entire stack but every image starts with sharp frames from back to front.
Thanks for your warm comments and when I gain some more knowledge about this forum, I will give some examples of very close macro, close up, and landscape applications that I have used over the course of this past 10 months with a digital camera.
Thanks again Scotty. Best wishes always Fred

I generally rely on the Scheimpflug principle and eliminate the need to stack.

How many folks have a tilt/shift camera? (View camera, usually large format)

I don't know. I haven't taken a poll. However, a new member mentioned large format and got a few replies.

Hi all,
I have seen, and used once, a tilt-shift bellows that accommodated a 35mm full-frame on the rear standard and a 36 or 47mm (or so) wide angle on the front standard. The bellows was made by Cambo and as I recall the lens was either a Rodenstock or a Nikkor. I used it for the shift that it provided and had I the opportunity to reshoot, I would have focus stacked. I did not get the depth of field that I would have liked and the subject would not have benefited from front or rear tilt.
Best, Fred

That is because of format AND of the camera construct itself. A view camera does not have what I can only describe as a 'well' that limits the motion offered by your setup.
