This was great thank you

Nice clear video John. Haven't considered staking in either Macro or Landscape before, but I will try it, when we get to a little bit of normality. I'm dying to do some serious photography, But as you know London has a different view:-)

The initial audio quality had me concerned, but the middle was fine. Overall, this was excellent for me, going to try it out later today. I also subscribed. I liked the sharp + bokeh example a lot! Thank you.

John may I ask you a question? How do you create your text image for your signature ? Been struggling to make mime not sure how.

[@johnsimpson-wb1kq]

Hi John does this work with back button

[@GaneshShanker2]

I am using a Z6ii but I do not see the Peaking stack image on option in the Focus shift shooting option.

[@johngravett9194]

Are you using a Z lens, or an F- fit with the adapter - peaking stack images only appear with Z-lenses (annoying, isn't it!)

[@GaneshShanker2]

@@johngravett9194 Yes, I am using 105 Macro F2.8 Z mount S lens Nikkor. I am using my camera in auto mode.

[@gunawardena66]

audio quality is poor

[@johngravett9194]

I have sorted that out for future videos, hopefully you will still find the techniques of interest.

[@sepponevalainen4309]

A nice guide. Just be careful with the terms: Z7 does not do "focus stacking", but "focus bracketing" is the correct term!

[@johngravett9194]

If you’re going to be pedantic, focus shift shooting is the correct term. If you watch the whole video it should be clear enough though.

[@kitom38]

Your sound make your video unpleasant unfortunately.

[@johngravett9194]

I'm sorry you find that - I'm a photographer rather than a sound recordest - unless it's just my voice you find unpleasant. Hope you learned something anyway!

@@johngravett9194 your video is nice and helpful. Maybe just a tie micro should do a better job and make your video even better .
