"Stacking" Photographs |

Like this website my photography is more of an evolution than a planned
progression. With fossil pictures in mind, I’ve been experimenting with
what is called “image stacking”. A simple explanation of this process is
that several photographs are shot in a series with the focus slightly
changing with each picture. These are then run thru a computer software
stacking program which will align (most times) and merge the individual
pictures into one focused image. Depth of field is the amount of
distance between the nearest and farthest objects or points that appear
in acceptably sharp focus. The closer one gets to an object the less the
depth of field, image stacking is one solution to this problem.
