It really shows you how awesome a good ND filter is: way quicker, less chances of problems with alligning layers and during blending and less chromatic aberration because you don't have to shoot at f22.. Both B&W and color are awesome.

Diffraction and other image issues about shooting at f22 aint that much of a problem when you blend so many images together. You aint looking for sharpness. I still own NDs so I aint cheering for any team here. But that was the point.

What a timing with this video! Just last week I went out and forgot my filters. But I put down my camera on a tripod in a couple of compositions to try to catch some nice waves, and shot in bursts. I didn't get spectacular waves that way -- my camera wasn't low enough. But I did get several series of images that are perfect practice for this techniques. Playing with different stacking methods I get some nice different effects, such as ghostly mists around some of the rocks in the water. Thanks!

There is a shortcut. If you use file-->scripts-->statistics, you get a dialog box that prompts you to load your images, select your statistic (e.g. median) from a list and then Photoshop produces the same results as in the video. If you tick off the box "align layers", you can overcome any issues with your tripod shifting. You'll have to crop the image a little bit afterwards.

A good tutorial and some beautiful images. I have played around with this technique myself (although I do prefer using an ND filter). The tip about extending the bottom tripod legs sections is a good one but you have to be careful as these thinner legs are also less stable than the thicker upper leg sections. I tend to use a small extension of the bottom legs and then some of the middle section (depending on conditions). I also like to check the alignment of the images before stacking as, even when being very careful, there can sometimes be a tiny shift in the camera position. Auto-Align layers normally saves this. Thanks for sharing

Thats a nice idea. So you take one sharp photo with f/11 or so, to avoid diffraction make your photo soft, and then you are closing the aperture all the way down using f22 because you don't care about the water becoming soft and so you are simulating a long exposure by stacking multiple photos!!! Great.

yep, I've actually always preferred to do it like this as this also gives the best possible image. Similar to 'lucky imaging', especially for scenes that might get crossed by planes, boats, cars satellites, people, etc. this gives the freedom to hand pick or mask single frames. In high wind this can be vital too! It also eliminates orders of magnitude of noise giving the stack much greater dynamic range when exposing for the highlights and color resolution stretching beyond 14 bit depending on your chosen color space... 16bit/channel or 32bit/channel. Last but not least with this, one gets an accurate exposure preview QUICKLY... also huge benefit. While I do wish my R5 had the build in on the fly stacking ability, I don't mind the processing. Part of the fun. Then again, I've stacked millions of telescope images and I've written my own python script to do it for me...
@andreasbrand31913 жыл бұрын
oh and plus one doesn't have to have many filters and/or adapters. The only place where those are needed are movies, and if I want open aperture but everything is too bright for the lowest ISO and shortest exposure time... rare, but it happens. Since I usually don't carry around filters, my loss. Nice about the Sonys (I have Canon stuff) is that they now offer much shorter exposure times, I think the A1 goes to 1/32000th of a second! nice
