SUMMARY
William Patino's guide demonstrates focus stacking for sharp landscape photography, covering field capture and post-processing. Modern mirrorless cameras often feature built-in focus bracketing, automating frame capture. The technique involves shooting multiple frames at different focus points and blending them for a sharp result. Patino advises shooting at apertures like f/8 to f/16 for better frame overlap and suggests capturing more frames than initially thought necessary.
TAKEAWAYS
Focus stacking achieves tack-sharp landscape images from foreground to background.
Use apertures like f/8 to f/16 to create overlap between focus-stacked frames.
Automated focus bracketing modes on modern cameras simplify frame capture.
Post-processing involves aligning and blending layers in Photoshop.
