The Art of Focus Stacking - Matrix Software

Two-Shot Reflection Stack
Photo of Stream Bed Photo of Stream Surface
Two Layers
Clear water makes a great 2-layer stack.
Simply shoot one layer with the bottom
of the stream in focus and another with
whatever is reflected on the top surface,
and combine them.
Here there is a sunlit stream bed with
overhead trees and blue sky reflected
on the surface. The combination allows
you to focus on the bottom or the top
reflection, making for a creative and
interesting effect. No need to align this
type of shot; just merge.
This is easy and effective
