A Few Minutes of Sun

I saw a video about in-camera focus stacking, where multiple photos are taken in camera, each with a different focal point (I took 7 though I thought I programmed it for 10). Then, in post processing in PS, photos are uploaded as layers and using auto-align (when handheld) and auto-blend under editing, PS magically uses the best focal points and combines the images together. If you enlarge this you can see it's pretty sharply focused from foreground through sky. I thought it would be much harder to do -- especially since handheld -- but it's quite remarkable. I think it will be especially useful in macro when on a tripod.
I can see why you're so excited about these results! Perfection! I've heard about what you've done, but have yet to try it myself... So many choices in a day!

It is absolutely crystal clear. Great job, and beautiful composition.

Waw ! super results - but as yet my sleepy brain ( just woken up from my afternoon nap !! ) can not comprehend your process !! The tree and hay-bale seem to stand out in 3D - everything in the right perspective . Beautiful scene and composition ! fav

Lovely rural scene!

Yes, the focus is great. Lovely scene. Something I should learn.

The details are clear and crisp. Nice the camera is able to do focus stacking. I've only done it a photo at a time and it's a pain in the A** as far as I'm concerned.

Quite impressed!

What an interesting technique and sharp focus.

Nice and sharp front to back. Could you share link to the video?
July 21st, 2022  
Cool! Thanks for the info on your process

Awesome work on this shot. Would be interested in the link for the video, also.

Thanks for the explanation of photo stacking, which I've read about. Such crisp focus throughout the scene.

This is marvellous. On my bucket list of photography things to try!

Nice summer scene

This technology is still quite new and is not built into older machines. It's quite cumbersome to do the same with those. I don't know if the 9" aperture you used would not have been enough to achieve such a depth width?

Very nice result

@borof Exactly -- it's so much easier with it in camera! If I tried an aperture of f14, a lot is pretty clear, but it makes a big differences in the corners and the edges.

This link is specific to the NikonZ7ii, but the idea I think would generalize to any other camera -- especially the Photoshop part.

That’s exactly the process we used jn macro class. The one I did it get to finish because I got covid
