Blimey Mr Worth, that's impressive, not just a great photographer, but an editing genius! I can hold my own as a photographer, but I'm not a fan of editing, I like to be done as quick as I can and I have not got those skills. Used to love being locked in the darkroom but don't have the same love for sitting behind a screen after doing it all day for work.

Great tip. I'm going to try this technique the next time I go out. I avoid wide angle shots because of the very thing this resolves. Since I've reduced my kit to two lenses, I'll be trying with different focal lengths on my wide angle zoom lens.

Great video again Ian. I just attempted a very similar shot with flowers in the foreground. I struggled to blend the layers though as I think maybe there was a little too much move my in the flowers.
@ian_worth2 ай бұрын
I know what you mean Graham, I had to wait for ages for the wind to be perfectly still for this set of images, any movement makes the blend so difficult.
@DavidMaffin2 ай бұрын
Interesting extension of focus stacking. Ian, I’m curious about the blending of the 3 foreground images. It was quite breezy and the flower will likely have moved between each shot. I have had problems when using photoshop auto blending or using a brush to manually blend, where blurred artefacts are revealed from the images focused behind the foreground subject (e.g., grasses). Maybe you had enough depth of field at the wide angle the get all the foreground to the top of the flower in focus? David.

Great video, thanks. Definitely one to try. Me being me, I immediately wondered if you could get the same effect by copying the wide photo and then expanding it before blending. Obviously lose some resolution but could be useful if you want to try the effect when you get home, and it’s too late!
@ian_worth2 ай бұрын
Thank you. Yes, you can do this in post as you mentioned. One of the benefits of changing lenses is that a tighter focal length will remove distortion and make the background look more natural as it will be more compressed. This is especially useful if you have a series of mountains that recede into the distance or you have tall objects close to the edge of the frame. 👍

I enjoyed the video as usual Ian. Wow that was a dodgy spot on the edge of the cliff, it made me cringe a bit Very interesting to see how you do that type of image.

Hello Ian. I would consider 18mm in the first place, one set of focus stacked, but would you have gotten the flower in? Stitching two images at 18mm perhaps? I completely understand your reasoning here, but if I can avoid extra PS processing, I am a happier man😅. Nice shot, love the moody sky.

Thanks for the video. On a more philosophical note: Is it still a photography technique? And does the final product still count as a photograph or rather as a collage? Personally I'm all in favor for editing pictures as it is an important aspect to the photographers vision. When we manipulate an image by using only the information that's already there (light/shadow/contrast/color) it still is the same image thus qualifies as photograph. The moment we put different photographs together does it still count as photograph? Where do we draw a line between photograph vs collage? Is a collage still something that should be allowed in something like a photography competition?

Canon mirrorless has focus bracketing since the EOS R …(even entry level R7 and R10 have it) you have to select it and set it up each time you use it.select number of images and DOF and it will take up to 90 odd images straight after each other… so if you doing 3 images at f13 and say 250th…they will be almost identical , even with moving sea, while moving the focus for you…you then put RAW into😮 Canon DPP software ( free with your camera) and click a button…pops out a blended pic….no need to do layers or anything…..I. have used it for macro and scapes…as opposed to this method described here that I used to use…thanks for the video though…explains it perfectly….Sony mirrorless cameras have it now on some newer models as do some Nikon and Fuji XT 2 onwards ….just checked…I am not sure why this is not a standard feature on all new cameras as it is more likely to be used by everyday owners than many other features…I now understand why so many landscape pros is South Africa shoot Fuji..cos they have had had focus bracketing for years😂
