Since I'm doing a lot of focus stacking in my macro photography, I thought it would be a good subject for a video for beginners to get you up to speed on how and why we focus stack in macro photography.

Once you learn how physics prevents these kinds of images and where the artifacts will be you will be cursing the day you wasted a lot of money on this - and yes, the artifacts are blatantly visible, just not while the images are shown for mere seconds in a video.

With that I’ve just bought an oldOlympus OMD EM1 mk1, and just found out a firmware update gave it focus stacking and bracketing :) Can’t wait for my 60mm macro lens to arrive and get shooting with such a lightweight setup.

  • Excellent coverage of focus stacking techniques! My only comment is for method 2, statement @ 6:30. You mention that this method is slowed by the wait for the flash to recycle. Actually if your setup allows to use very short/low power flash lighting, the flash will sustain the high speed burst rate. In my case it works at 1/128 or 1/64 of full power with the Laowa/Kuangren double flash with flexible arms. This video is the best introduction to focus bracketing and focus stacking I have watched yet.

  • If you are using a dedicated macro lens then don’t worry about diffraction. In practice, depth of focus is your biggest concern. Dedicated macro lenses are amazing lenses that are corrected for diffraction and you actually should be using them stopped down. I would say that f/5.6 is not enough for most people. F/8-11 is much better, even on M.43 and I’m speaking from experience here because I have the Olympus 60mm lens. I also shoot with a Micro Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 on a Sony A7R and that camera doesn’t have focus bracketing. I regularly shoot at f/22 with no problems.

    @thethirdman225@thethirdman225Ай бұрын

    • Unfortunately, this is not true. All lenses suffer from diffraction. As for the f/5.6 on the Olympus setup, that is a great f-stop to use for focus stacking. Not only is it sharp but it also keeps the flash power lower for faster recycle times.

      @StewartWoodArt@StewartWoodArtАй бұрын

    • @@StewartWoodArt I don't shoot by the test chart. I shoot by what gives the best results and when you're trying to stitch something together, the better depth of focus you have the better the result. F/5.6 might be the optimum for sharpness by if that was all we shot for it would be a pretty pointless exercise. I'm not saying you're wrong the way you did this. I just think people should not be scared of diffraction. It's rarely ever a factor in macro and I do a lot of it. There are a lot more important things to worry about.

  • I was marvelling how well organized and thorough the video was which made the outtakes at the end all the more funny! I have a godox tt350 with Oly/ OM cameras which often can't recycle quickly enough. Would you recommend the V350 or possible the V860 III? (My thinking is V350: cheaper, lighter and sufficient vs V860: more versatile for other photography, ie portraits etc)

  • This is the clearest and most informative video I've seen on focus stacking. Fantastic photos as well. I started shooting with an E-M10 mark ii in 2015 and even though it was the entry-level Olympus model, it could focus bracket (but not stack) with flash way back then. Heck, even Olympus' little small sensor, point-and-shoot TG series can focus stack in-camera. I always wondered why Olympus cameras were not more highly regarded for macro photography. Glad you discovered them. I'm now a subscriber!

    • As a member of several macro communities I can happily inform you that MFT cameras (Olympus in particular) have seen a lot of interest for field macro work due to their small size and low weigth compared to other cameras. Not to mention that they posses several favourable qualities that make them extra suitable for macro photography. I just upgraded to the lastest Olympus camera, technically OM Systems, but you get what I mean. Welcome to Stewarts youtube community :)

  • Hi Stewart, I really enjoy your tutorials. What is the flash diffuser that you use as it isn't listed in your gear list?

  • Hi, I'm new to macro photography, and I really like your channel, and I wanted to know how you take so many photos with the flash without losing power, or what do you recommend for focus bracketing, in terms of power settings and taking photos, thanks

    • I use a flash power of 1/32 and the flash will keep up with the camera.

  • Stewart... do you know if with a fujifilm system I could do the focus bracketing like with you with the olympus system? Nice video... amazing job and pictures

  • Hey Stuart, great video! It's the first time I've seen such impressive macros with an EOS R. Given your experience, which lens, flash, and diffuser would you recommend for a beginner like me? And kudos on your stunning pictures!

  • Hi I’m fairly new to macro photography especially using a flash! I have the Godox v350 but one thing you didn’t mention in your video is how to set up the flash to sync with the camera shutter when taking multiple bracketed images do you have another video demonstrating this cheers.

  • Great video Stewart, really helpful for us new to stacking and bracketing. Quick question, when you initially focus for your first frame when bracketing or stacking do you use auto focus or manual focus with peaking?

    @Macroadventures@Macroadventures10 ай бұрын

    • I use manual focus when doing a stack.

    • As a somewhat experienced macro shooter and focus stacker, I can higly recommend that you use manual focus or shift your camera when using bracketing. Auto-focus can sometimes miss the desired starting point for the bracketing sequence. But if you've to work fast then sometimes the auto-focus will have to make do, just slightly shift the camera backwards while half-pressing the shutter. Better to have a few photos that are focused before the subject then past the area you wished to be the starting point :)

    • @@ulriktnnesen5987 Thanks for the detailed reply, much appreciated. Will give the manual/focus peaking method a go and see how I get on.

  • I've tried handheld but I suck at it. I'm really gelous of how well yours come out. Maybe I'll get it at some point, but for now I'm sticking to my cheap macro slider and static subjects
