Some years ago, this was one of the scenes I shot on my first roll of medium-format film.

Now we emulate the same kind of look in Snapseed...

A total 2 minutes of exposure to see what the NLCs and ordinary clouds would get up to over that kind of timescale.

I first stumbled across this composition a couple of years ago - a very strong sense of depth - and have been meaning to update my "take" on the scene ever since.

So, passing by the area again, I called in and made this long exposure, black+white, pixel-shifted focus-stack image of it.

Focus Shift + Pixel Shift

This is the one they chose.

I was asked to test the new 3.0 firmware and make a few images using the newly combined features of Pixel shift and Focus Shift. During the testing process, I was asked to make an image that Japan would end up using to launch the new firmware. I was incredibly honored that they chose this one.

This was captured as 1,600 NEF files... merged using NX Studio to 50 NEFX (180,000,000 pixel) files... then stacked in Helicon to a single image of about 1.09 GB. Then in Photoshop Elements, it was 'dumbed down' to the 5 MB file.

Focus stacking with Helicon

I was asked by Nikon to test shoot the 3.0 FW with a special interest in the new ability to use Pixel Shift and Focus Shift at the same time.

Pixel Shift is an option where the camera moves the sensor during a series of captures. This series is then merged in the Nikon NX Studio software. In this case, the pixel shift option was set to the maximum capture option of 32 images. The camera exposed an image then moved the sensor… about half the width of a single pixel… and exposed the next one. For 32 images. Those 32 NEF (RAW) files were merged into one massive NEFX raw file that now has a resolution of about 180,000,000 pixels.

Focus Shift Shooting is an option where the camera makes an exposure then shifts focus to a different plane and makes another exposure. The cool part is that the camera is automatically setting the shift movement so that a series of images can be stacked on post in such a way to increase the depth of the PLANE of focus. This results in a subject the can have a nearly unlimited amount of the subject focus. Not just more depth of field, but depth of actual in focus.

The Z8 FW 3.0 is the first time anyone has offered both at the same time on a full frame professional camera.
