![]() So to get a greater depth of field, I have to decrease the aperture (make the hole smaller, bigger f/number). But I am already at f/8 and 0.4 seconds. You can see that not everything is in acceptable focus, only a small slice is sharp (enough), the stuff inside the green marked area. This is just one example image of the series. Wasn’t moving much, so I could go back to get my camera, set up my tripod and shoot a series of images intending to post-process them with focus stacking. This is an image of a very coöperative moth sitting on our house wall. When is an excellent opportunity to do it?.If you are in a camera club and entered macro images into a competition, and the judge said something like “Nice subject, but the is not in focus, try some focus stacking next time!”, then I can help you with that. Most subjects will not fit into an acceptable depth of field to be sharp in all the right places. I am talking about millimeters or even less. One annoying side effect of macro photography is the very (very!) shallow depth of field. I assume you have a good macro lens or closeup filter or anything to get you close to your subjects. My guess is that you already know that if you read an article about focus stacking, so I won’t dig into what macro photography is and what you need. Great macro opportunities are everywhere. No need to pay for a trip to Iceland or Paris or New York. When you are doing macro photography, the benefit is you can find heaps of subjects in your garden (if you have one) or around where you live. ![]()
