[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 271737, member: 9240"] Focus stacking, particularly when you get into it with macro photography, can drive you nuts. You can be so absolutely careful and then there's that one slice that you miss that screws up the shot. Automated software, as Jonathan mentioned, can really help solve that. But you have to be careful what camera you use, because 15 full-res images from my D800 made my Mac scream for mercy. I certainly have some uses for it, but thankfully not too many. An important technique to know. A similar technique that I am rather interested in getting down first, is the Brenizer Panorama, which stitches together multiple images shot at wide open aperture to create the look of a razor thin DoF (see examples [URL="http://photographylife.com/advanced-photography-techniques-brenizer-method-panorama"]here[/URL]). Thankfully Photoshop does a great job in the heavy-lifting area of these exercises. [/QUOTE]
