I’m still figuring out how to best do this, but I’m amazed at the pictures I can get! This is the JPEG straight from the camera, so no editing other than the stacking and tweaks the camera does. I almost exclusively use natural light, but I’m probably going to need to grab something for this type of thing.

Lots of fun, and if my neighbors didn’t think I was crazy before, I’m sure they do now! 😂

    I really should. My cameras all stack in camera, but it’s not something I’ve really tried to play around with much. There’s not much use for it taking photos of birds :p

      I’ve never done it, but a lot of wildlife photography is focus stacked, especially when more than one animal is in focus in the photo.

        Thanks to the longer focal lengths and brighter light making narrow apertures more viable, it’s not something I’ve needed for my birds.

        But I’ve definitely felt the pain of the reduced DoF the few times I’ve tried macro

      It’s quite a handy feature! Birds and animals are what I’m normally taking pictures of as well, so it’s something different for me to try. It’s definitely interesting to set up those pictures.
