get everything in focus. Enter focus stacking.<br />
<strong>Focus</strong> <strong>Stacking</strong> creates a photo image where most<br />
everything is in focus, just like our mind assumes the<br />
world out there is, as well – in focus. While with most<br />
photos we are drawn to wherever the photographer<br />
happened to focus, given a stacked photo we are free<br />
to look anywhere we want. <strong>The</strong> photographer no longer<br />
dictates where our eye should go by his personal<br />
point <strong>of</strong> focus and we are at liberty to just kind <strong>of</strong> look<br />
around as we like, like little kids.<br />
This newfound freedom brings a kind <strong>of</strong> spaciousness<br />
to the mind and stacked photos can have an almost<br />
3D quality, when really the only thing new is that the<br />
whole picture (or at least the main subject) is more in<br />
focus than we are used to. Let’s look at examples <strong>of</strong><br />
stack photos and some <strong>of</strong> the things to keep in mind.<br />
