FOCUS STACKING AFFINITY PHOTO TUTORIAL ISO
HDR and Focus Stacking – Taking the photographsįirst we set the camera for HDR: RAW image, middle aperture, usually 8, mirror lock up active, ISO value static, 3 (or 5) bracketing row with step size 1 active). If I want to capture the different focus areas even more granularly, I even take 5 shots with different focus instead of our exemplary 3 shots. There are no more blurred areas, no bokeh. The result is an image which is characterized by enormous sharpness in all areas.
Third shot with focus on objects far away from the camera (near infinity range of the lens).įrom these three shots, we only combine the sharp areas to form a new image.Second shot with focus on objects in the medium distance range from the camera (50% of the focus bandwidth).First shot with focus on objects close to the camera (almost at the close-up limit of the lens).I take three pictures by changing the focus on the lens: But this time it’s not about details, but about the sharpness of the subject. If I want to capture the details even more granularly, I even take 5 shots with different exposures instead of our exemplary 3 shots.įocus Stacking also describes a workflow in which I combine several images into one image. Thus I get perfect visibility of all details, no matter if in a dark, normal or light area of the motive. Thereby I reject the overexposed and underexposed areas and only assemble my picture from the well taken components.
The three photos I took are now combined to one picture in the HDR workflow. Third shot underexposed: Bright areas of the subject are clearly visible, dark and normal areas are underexposed.Second shot normally exposed: Center areas of the subject are clearly visible, bright and dark areas are overexposed or underexposed.First shot overexposed: Dark areas of the subject are taken clearly visible, bright and normal areas are overexposed.For simplicity’s sake we assume three pictures.īy using different exposure settings of the camera I take three pictures: HDR photos are characterized by a high level of detail. Normally I take 5 or at least 3 pictures of the same subject for an HDR image. For everyone else, here is a rudimentary explanation: If you know what HDR and Focus-Stacking is, you can skip this paragraph. So far I’ve always had to choose one or the other kind of image editing, but can’t we also create an image that consists of both HDR and Focus Stacking? Yes we can. These two functions let us create beautiful images. I love Affinity Photos features to create HDR shots and focus stacks.
