The best free photography course - complete playlist - How to do Focus Stacking | complete guide with miops slider+

Focus stacking has become increasingly popular in recent months. With more and more cameras doing in-camera focus bracketing or focus stacking (invented by Olympus btw.), using multiple images with different focus points that are later combined into a final image using different stacking programs are being used way more often. In this video I (Wolf Amri aka Wolfgang Amri) explain how to do focus stacking and what the difference is between in-camera stacking and the use of a (dedicated) slider, in this case the miops slider+ (miops slider plus). 0:00 intro 0:16 slider vs in-camera stacking 1:25 why I use the Miops Slider + 2:36 why to use focus stacking 4:16 save the bees (not only) for macro photography 5:22 the setup for my first stack 5:45 camera settings for indoor focus stacking 11:05 setting up the miops slider + for focus stacking 11:59 setting the start & end point 14:25 setting the distance per step 17:57 setting the slider exposure time 19:32 setting the interval between shots 20:08 the actual stacking process 21:04 importing and preparing files 20:06 different stacking programs 22:32 focus stacking in photoshop 25:38 focus stacking in helicon focus 28:18 focus stacking in zerene stacker 30:30 comparing unedited stacking results 32:54 editing in zerene stacker 39:40 finishing up in Photoshop 44:29 perfect sharpeness with topaz Sharpen AI 45:34 helpful links ----- Links ----- Miops slider+: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1661783-REG/miops_miops_slpl_slider_camera_slider.html/BI/22184/KBID/28720 Laowa 25mm 5:1 macro: https://amzn.to/3KOD1nu Zerene Stacker: https://www.zerenesystems.com/cms/stacker Helicon Focus: https://www.heliconsoft.com/heliconsoft-products/helicon-focus/ My own website that explains exposure: https://exposure-triangle.com Topaz Sharpen AI discount link (code for -15%: wolfamri): https://topazlabs.com/ref/609/?campaign=focusStacking You can find the focus stacking cheat sheet on my exposure-triangle website.
