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.
Cheers!!

Love the photography tips! I’ve got to dust off my dSLR and try these. (It’s been WAY too long since I used more than a cell phone to take pics =/)

Glad you like these 🙂
Great to read your tips from one whose digital camera rarely strays from automatic.
Now I want to know what the plant is in this shot.
Thanks Bob! I hope you ll stray from the auto mode and explore the other modes too! As for the plant, it belongs to the Garden Croton variety!
