Focus stacking (landscape or real estate) Photography

These are my personal approach in shooting landscape or real estate ,with emphasis in focus stacking

Focus stacking (landscape or real estate) Photography
- a quick, intermediate to advanced guide

Camera 

Shoot in raw mode (no discussions here) :)

Focusing

• - manual focus
• - shoot -0 to .7 meters (depending on the lens), might be .3 on other lens
• - shoot 1.5 m
• - shoot 3.5 m
• - shoot infinity

Aperture

• f8 -  f11 for real estate
• f16 - f22 (i would go for f16)

ISO 100 (always on a tripod for these stacking projects)

Shutter Speed (would depend on the situation, sometimes AV mode would suffice for these situations)

Post Processing

• - Process all images in Lightroom or Photoshop Camera raw
• - sync settings
• - export as TIFF (lossless compression, psd is ok too)
• - in photoshop (open all images) and use File>Scripts> Load files into stack
• - tick the box that says Automatically align layers
• - Lets combine the focus now, select all layers
• - Use Edit > Auto Blend layers, select Stack Images
• - Export as TIFF or PSD, and also export a jpeg (for web)
