Last Friday, we looked at the works of Felix Hernandez Rodriguez - a photographer from Cancun, Mexico who specializes in photographing objects both small and large. You could say that some of his work involves the use of a macro lens... but there's something slightly different. Rodriguez has said that he uses a technique called "Focus Stacking" for his work. What does that mean?
In short, it's a method used by macro photographers where s/he shoots multiple images - each image focusing on a different depth - and blends them together in Photoshop. In the video below, the photographer shows you how he took many photographs - each image focusing on a different duck - check out the video below to learn more!
