Great photo.Moon Over White Tank. Joshua Tree National Park. GFX-50R, 50mm. Two frames stitched vertically. Best camera I've ever owned
Hi Joe,Carl, I'm going to try focus stacking (to learn something new during the pandemic), and your photos of the pond at Sapsucker Woods have inspired me. Did you capture the 5-shot stack using the camera's focus stack feature or by manually selecting five separate focus points in the scene? I'm assuming that, employing the former method, the camera used e-shutter. My reluctance to use focus stacking to this point has been due to the difficulty of eliminating artifacts caused by moving subjects (leaves, grasses, branches, etc.). For example, this is a crop from the immediate foreground of your last shot:
Your subjects are similar to my own - forests, park lands, etc. Lloyd Chambers pushes focus stacking but his subjects are typically rocks and mountains that don't move.
Have you found one focus stacking app (Zerene, Helicon, Affinity) to do better than others? Do you use layers in Photoshop or C1 to remove the artifacts? Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Joe
