This is why it’s important to know your lens’s “sweet spot” – the setting that results in its sharpest possible point of focus. A narrow aperture creates a wide depth of field, but can result in diffraction, which causes a soft focus.A wide aperture creates a shallow depth of field, meaning you may have trouble keeping everything that’s important in your image focused at once.Both a wide-open aperture and a tiny one can create focus issues in their own way: Your aperture setting will be one of the most important factors as you shoot to focus stack. Fortunately, the editing part is nearly as simple as shooting, and we’ll walk you through it step by step a little later on.ĭepth of Field and Your Lens’s “Sweet Spot” It’s a half-shooting, half-editing process, since you have to actually combine all those different points of focus in post-processing. By taking multiple shots of the same scene at different focus points, you’re covering all your bases for the final image.
To create an HDR image, you take different levels of exposure for the same scene, then take the best of the highlights, shadows, and midtones out of all those exposures to create one, superbly-balanced photo.įocus stacking is the same idea, if you switch exposure with focus. To understand focus stacking, it’s easiest to make a quick comparison to HDR, since it’s a process most photographers have a baseline knowledge of.
