    • @Xx7trey
      @Xx7trey  6 месяцев назад

      Focus bracketing is a form of focus stacking. Instead of manually stacking which consists of you moving your camera back and forth, with bracketing the camera does the stacking itself without you having to move the camera, just have to stay as still as possible during the stack.

  • @thomastuorto9929
    @thomastuorto9929 6 месяцев назад +1

    Some very nice photos. Your camera, (Olympus) have focus stack shooting & do you use it for in the field. Second question, when you show focus stack, manual, referring to shooting or edit work or both? Thanks for any replies.

    • @Xx7trey
      @Xx7trey  6 месяцев назад +2

      Yeah I use it out in the field. And the stack where I put manual, that just means those stacks were not focus brackets. Just manual stacks where I moved the camera forward after each shot

    great video, thanks for all the tips! one question though: why did you use such a slow bracketing for the american nursery web spider (about 9:10 in the video)? is it because you needed a high flash power and the flash took long to recycle?

    Trey, as said, you, your photos, your tutelage, your videos in general, are awesome, for which we are very greatful.
    Question: Wouldn't one normally want his camera set to multiple exposure bursts, (while rocking back and forth to focus) to get the best images fort stacking) instead of trying to capture an image one exposure at a time?
    MANY thanks!

    • @Xx7trey
      @Xx7trey  19 дней назад

      Yes that method is the easiest if you aren’t using a flash but depending on the camera and flash you have, most flashes won’t be able to keep up with continuous shooting unless you are using a camera with a focus bracketing system like I do

    Could you explain your focusing technique? Manual? Do you move your focus spot box to different parts of the subject? You don’t look like you are trying to achieve focus. It looks like it’s effortless for you. Or are you just rocking back and forth to get focus while in manual like I’ve heard others do. Also, it looks like you are using live view. I always find it difficult to see in daylight.

    • @Xx7trey
      @Xx7trey  6 месяцев назад +1

      I shoot in manual and to get the focus I want, I’ll just move back and forth until it’s in focus. And I’ve always used live view ever since my first camera, don’t really like using a viewfinder
