[QUOTE="brads, post: 190161, member: 15461"] Jill (I hope your name is Jill?) it was easier than expected. Get your exposures right with a couple of trial shots, then start the event. Everyone says to use manual focus but I screwed up last time I used manual focus. So this time I shot auto and started with the little green square (focus point?) at the bottom of the live view window. After each exposure I'd move the focus point up 3 clicks. I ended up with about 25 exposures. The photos took no time at all. Maybe 15 minutes? We have LED lighting inside the house plus I used a flash bounced off the ceiling. Just the ordinary flash SB400 pointed toward ceiling. Then the time taken in Photoshop can be a while, depending how picky you want to be. I guess I spent about an hour on Photoshop fiddling and 'getting it right'. If you're shooting a product shot, you're going to be shooting RAW files and this would take a great deal longer. I shot in .jpg. One of the demos on YouTube show a guy shooting on the beach. He wanted foreground shells, midpoint waves and endpoint pier all to be in focus so he image stacked. But he only used 3 images. Seemed to work but I'm fairly sure you'd need a lot more images to get a 'ping' from the pic. Glad you liked the website. It was mainly a learning curve for me to teach myself web pages. Another world altogether! Cheers, Brad :) PS. This was the original exposure before adjusting for lighting etc. I hope you'll have a go at it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]49249._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
