Materials from a school project in Evesham. Photos taken by students through the town and along the river were merged using the Focus Stacking tools in Photoshop. They were then printed out for use in a giant collage.

One more from the Three Shires Head trip, looking downstream of the Dane into the mist with a very characterful tree poking out of the dale wall on the right.

I am not going to be able to resist a monochrome version of this, am I?

This is a handheld nine shot focus bracket merged in Photoshop. The Olympus E-M1 Mk ll's image stabilization is good enough and it fires fast enough to do this, though the implementation of shot spacing and number of shots needs to be rethought by Olympus's engineers. Currently they allow you to enter the number of shots and a number that is vaguely related to shot spacing. You then select the closest point you want in focus and fire away, hoping you have guessed right. This one came out alright. Others have not. If you change the lens, the f stop, the subject, the distance etc, you have to start over again. The camera has enough info to calculate depth of field. It would seem that a better scheme would be to focus on the near and far locations and let the camera figure out the shots. It's not complicated math. It was all worked out on slide rules a hundred years ago.

Fist stab at focus-stacking; used 7 shots and Helicon Focus.

Eggs, a very banal subject for testing my new toy (Sony 90mm f2.8 macro) ,and focus stacking which is cruelly absent from my Alpha 7M4. I tried a macro focusing rail which seems to work, but it is a return to the past compared to my old olympus gear

Garden is full of these at the moment- focus stacked from 2 pics

E-M1 focus bracketing, 25 files, step 2

All files developed and finished in Capture One before stacking.
