How To Focus Stack

In Landscape Photography

Focus stacking is a technique used to get tack-sharp images with an infinite depth of field. It involves capturing multiple exposures, shot at differing focus points, then blending them together in post.

This technique is mainly used when you can’t achieve the desired depth of field (DOF) in a single frame.
