FocusStacking
This brief illustration and text gives a simple overview and example of the use of Focus Stacking. I used this to illustrate the technique to a group of non-geek people and explain the difficulty of obtaining sufficient depth of field with a subject like this diorama and the way Focus Stacking can solve the problem!
Additional info...this was lit with an AlienBee B800, 1/32 power, 20degree grid from the right side, a Nikon SB26 at 1/64 power with a Rogue Flash reflector in the bottom of the display case...pointed up to illuminate the interior 'framework' of the blimp. AlienBee CyberSynch radio triggers were used for both strobes. Images for the Focus Stack were obtained by manually incrementing the focus from near to far, a total of 20 images were finally used.
