Focus stacking to get the perfect photo
Posted: Sat Jul 16, 2022 4:52 pm
Have you ever been frustrated when shooting your models by having one part in focus and most of the rest out of focus? Yea, I would bet that pretty much all of us have. I recently discovered the concept of photo stacking. This is a technique where you take multiple photos with different focal points and combine them to make a picture that has everything in perfect focus. I have been playing with photoshop, my Sony A7II and some of my models. I am still learning how to do this, but it seems pretty straight forward. Apparently, there are a number of programs out there that will do this. Some free, some not. As it happens, I have been using Photoshop for years and it happens to have that option built in.
I am not good enough with this to show any of the work yet, but here is great article that explains the concept better that I ever could and tells you how to do it. I am sure some of you will enjoy reading it.
