F for Focus Stacking
Situation: My usable DOF is less than what is needed to cover my entire subject. Increasing the DOF will rob the dreamy effect and I don’t want that. What to do?
Solution: Use focus stacking.
We shoot a series of photos with focusing on the nearest point of focus of the subject and keep shooting till we reach the end of it, changing the focus, bit by bit every time. Then, we combine them and have a composite photo, where the subject is sharp. The background doesn’t change because we don’t change any camera settings here.
This is a part of April AtoZ Challenge. A, B, C, D, E, F are done. Rest on hot pursuit.
