Re-Stacked Photo with Fewer Frames<br />
Less Sometimes is More<br />
Movement Causes <strong>Art</strong>ifacts<br />
<strong>Focus</strong> <strong>Stacking</strong> is primarily for still life<br />
photography where nothing is moving.<br />
Movement causes artifacts in the<br />
finished photo that (usually) cannot be<br />
remedied with the result that the photo<br />
is not considered satisfactory. This is not<br />
to say that focus stacking should not be<br />
used for nature photography with live<br />
subjects but just that you want to catch<br />
your critters at rest, holding a pose long<br />
enough for you to shoot a few frames at<br />
different focus points.<br />
<strong>Focus</strong> stacking with moving subjects<br />
can make for interesting impressionistic<br />
or expressionistic photos but most <strong>of</strong><br />
these would fall into the category <strong>of</strong> artistic<br />
experimentation rather than nature<br />
photography.<br />
