Focus Stacking: An Example
Above: Near Shot
The Simplest Stack
Here is a stack of two photos, a near
shot (above) and a far shot (below).
Stack the two together, blend them,
and we get the finished shot on the
right side of the page. Pretty simple:
two quick shots combined to give you
a depth of field it would be very difficult
to get otherwise.
The result composite photo puts the
railing, the board walk, and even the
background in decent focus. This
lends a sense of space and clarity to
the shot.
Note: With a good 60mm lens you
might be able to get this depth of field
without stacking.
