Re: Fern focus stacked
Looks really nice! Could you elaborate on focus stacking? I imagine that it is something that would increase the depth of field.

Re: Fern focus stacked
Hello Ernie,yes you are correct it increases depth of field when close up to objects.In this example I had my camera on my tripod using a cable release,then took a series of images starting with the near point,then slowly extending further into the scene.All settings on manual so that the exposure stayed the same for each image.I stopped once I had reached the end point of what I wanted in focus.Then using Helicon the photos were all combined together to make one image,finished editing it in Lightroom.
