Equally indispensable is to be able to see each exposureВ immediately on your computer screen so as to criticallyВ evaluate the focus.

#DEEPFOCUS THEME CROP IMAGES MANUAL#

Manual focusing, I think, is unavoidable for this. вЂ“ Bring the camera closer to the subject, and make exposures of all sections using a longer focal length, at all necessary degrees of focus. Allow also (if youвЂ™re not using a nodal point tripod head) that the image will be bigger still when aiming down (because, in swinging on the head, the camera comes a bit closer to the subject), while a bit smaller when aiming up (and the camera is a bit further).

Observe this well, and back off a bit if your image is getting too tight. Be sure to figure the overlap on the basis of the sizes of the images when focused at their nearest points, when they will be magnified the most. Determine how many sections to use to вЂњcoverвЂќ the whole image, allowing a slight overlap. вЂ“ Make overall exposure with a normal or wide-angle lens. Making the Exposures вЂ“ General Considerations If you would like a relatively simple description, see the related article вЂњ Deep-Focus, High-Definition Still Life with the Digital Camera вЂ“ An IntroductionвЂќ, which is grouped with the photographs themselves. If you prefer a more general but still advanced commentary, see the related article вЂњ High-Definition, Deep-Focus Still Life (with Photoshop Auto-Align Layers and Auto-Blend Layers)вЂќ, nearbyВ here in Artist's Statements. At the end there are some footnotes, and two appendices. This article goes into excruciating detail about the procedure IвЂ™ve developed to create these images.
