Focus Bracket

Lone Tree, Zion National Park, Utah

 This image was captured with a 150MM lens at F11 and the Phase One P65+ on a Mamiya 645DF.

Using a focal length of 150MM presents a few hurdles if one wants a sharp image from near to far. To counteract this one makes several exposures moving the focus so all parts of the image were in focus, albeit on different exposures. I then blend all of these images in a third party application, Helicon Focus.  Helicon will create one focused image from however many partially focused images you capture.

Well worth looking into. Helicon will also control focus on many DSLR cameras particularly when doing macro photography. Check out the link above.

Los Angeles

Ghost Ranch, Abiqu

Still in Los Angeles and not shooting much the past few weeks. This is one of those periods where I spend a good deal of time trying to learn technology new to me by re-processing older images - mostly with NIK Color EFX pro and Viveza 2.

Weeping Rock, Zion National Park

The two images today fall into that category - Weeping Rock is from last year in Zion and Abiqu was from a workshop in New Mexico.
