This theoretically makes it possible to properly expose the highlights as well as the shadows in the harshest contrasts.
#Landscape photo series
Most often, the idea is that you capture a series of exposures where every setting on the camera is the same, save for the shutter speed. Whether you run Photomatix, HDR Expose or use Lightroom to blend your images together, I’m sure you’ve heard of expanding the dynamic range of your images. Exposure as seen by the human eye with HDRĪ more familiar exposure-blending technique is, of course, high dynamic range imagery. But because diffraction is a physical property attributed to the way light hits the sensor, even the sharpest lenses out there will not be as sharp at their minimum aperture.
You will need more exposures at shorter distance intervals when you use a larger aperture, like f/5.6.Īs focus stacking will be very useful at your lens’ sweet spot, even the cheapest lens will appear to shoot razor sharp images, rivalling the single shots of the pricey contenders at smaller apertures. Repeat this process until you’ve reached infinity focus distance. Hit the cable release and adjust to focus a little further into the scene. Start by adjusting focus to the closest object in the scene and wait for the wind to die down (if applicable). The one difference is the focus distance. For the best results, every setting on the camera should also be exactly the same: white balance (fixable in post when shooting RAW), shutter speed, ISO, and aperture.
Using a solid tripod and shooting with a cable release will ensure the camera doesn’t move. With focus-stacking, you can fix everything in place throughout multiple exposures. But what if you wanted to also capture a sharp background? That’s where we shift our attention to landscape photography. We’re kicking things off with a technique that originated in macro photography, which captures a sharp subject and retains a creamy background. But these are the techniques I often use to translate my vision, and turn questions like the above into reality. How do you make a mountain appear as large to the viewer as it does to you? How do you get rid of noise in your nightscape images? How can you get everything in perfect focus, from front to back? This might as well be titled 5 things you can’t do in one shot, since each of the following techniques relies heavily on layering multiple exposures.
