This photo was a focus stack of 6 pictures.
This was taken on 1st September 2013 when I had the opportunity to pop over to Anglesey, North Wales to a location called “South Stack”. It is a 7x HDR image that was processed using photomatix and lightroom.
For more information about South Stack see the Wiki site:
4 Stacks from 115 images and differend light figuration combined
This was taken with f16, Panasonic 45-175mm and Raynox DCR-150. The interresting thing about some telezoom lenses is, that their sharpest possible aperture in combination with raynox dcr lenses is f16, and the picture quality is much above the native quality of the teelezoom lens. In stacking f16 brings often much better results than f4, because of the smaler seams around overlapping objects.

Another Anemone picture taken at the CBG. I wanted sharpness all through this flower, but not in the background. So I decided to try focus stacking. Fortunately this was inside, so no problem with wind. This is just two pictures merged. One picture was taken focusing on the petals and the other on the stamen.
I then used PSE, layering the two images and selctively merged the layers. It seems like a valid technique. May have to try this again with something that has greater depth than this Anemone.

I am an old dawg trying to learn new tricks...I have owned my GFX100S for a year and have never tried focus stacking...geez....so, this image is nothing but, stacked the images and then experimented with the ON1 Sky Replace feature....I add the moon (brush) first, mask the edges on the mountain ridge and then apply the sky effect.
You might want to take a close-up photo of something, but if you focus the camera on the closest part of the subject, you’ll find that the background is out of focus. If you focus on the background, the foreground becomes blurred. You could stop down on the lens, which increases the depth of field, but even so the image might not be entirely sharp.
The solution to this problem is called focus stacking. It works by taking a series of images, each focused on a different part of the scene, and combining them using software that creates a final image using the in-focus parts of each image in the stack. To make the stack, one typically puts the camera on a tripod and focuses on the closest part and presses the shutter. Then one carefully focuses back a bit and takes another shot, continuing until the final shot has the farthest parts of the scene in focus.
This is tedious work, and one risks moving the camera a bit while focusing.
Some cameras are starting to have built-in focus stacking capability. You just set the camera on the tripod and focus on the front, then press the button and the camera takes as many images as necessary while shifting the focus back.
The Nikon Z7 has focus stacking capability, what Nikon calls “focus shift shooting”. You set a few parameters and start the process. After a few seconds you have a stack of images that you can process with third party software to make what hopefully will be a final image that is sharp everywhere. I tried it out using a vase of roses set on the counter. The camera made 26 images, which I imported into Photoshop layers and used auto-blending to compose the final image, which you see here. It’s mostly pretty good. If you blow it up, it looks like everything is sharp. But, on closer inspection, you can see that the area between the vase and flowers on the right, where a couple of stems and leaves are, is blurred.
So I tried a popular third-party app, Helicon Focus. But it also failed to render this part of the image sharply. Then I looked through the stack and found that there was indeed an image where the area was in focus. This area was the backsplash on the bar, which consists of random streaks in the granite with soft edges, like what you can see on the bar in the foreground. I guess that the software failed to find convincing edges in this area (and didn’t have much area to work with), so it didn’t fill in that part of the final image and used some other image for that part.
I tried filling it in by hand using the sharp image in the stack. Even an area this small takes a steady hand and several minutes, and even then I was not completely successful. I gained a lot of respect for the software while doing this.
A Marine stack takes cover behind a protective blanket during an explosion Aug. 28, 2013, while completing a demolitions training evolution at a demo range in the Central Training Area in Okinawa, Japan. The knowledge of the different types of explosives in urban mobility breaching is vital to combat engineers as they perform a key role in a war-time theater. The Marines are combat engineers with 9th Engineer Support Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force.

This is my stack of notebooks, most of which are Moleskine notebooks. I have written in less than a third of them, but I feel I should stock up for when I can take my trip to Polynesia or the Australian outback.
South Stack is a tiny island off the north-western tip of Holy Island - itself an island off the north-western tip of Anglesey. It is joined to Holy island by a small suspension bridge for pedestrians, at the foot of a steep flight of 350 steps down the cliffs, and is crowned by a 90ft lighthouse, now automatically operated.

This is a merge of two images - 1/25 sec for the foreground (and even then some movement occurred due to the high winds) and about 60 secs for the sea.

zillions of pot bits and bones that are found in the marmaray project excavation are stacked in these blue boxes (and red boxes :p).
