Probably most of you, who have stumbled upon photography (especially macro), know very well what depth of field means. The focus stacking method means that we merge more than 2 photos, sometimes dozens of them – yes this is how much we often need to create our piece of art!
Creating this set of photos, on every photo we need to focus on a different area of a subject. It’s important to remember to shoot the photos using a stand and the best practice would also be to use a cable release to take a photo without touching the camera.
How many photos should i take?
It depends on a product and the result we want to get. The more sharp areas we shoot, the more sharpened the whole piece will be. When we’re finished with taking pictures, all is left to do is to merge the photos using a software. The final photo will be combining every of focused areas on different photos.
