FOCUS projects 4 professional – user manual2. Fascinating Macro PhotographyThe world of macro photography is often considered one of the most awe-inspiringfields of photography. Macro photos don’t only provide for a visually inspiring imageexperience but also help bring hardly noticeable or even completely unseenphotographic details to life. Magnification of ice crystals on a window or the delicatewings of a dragonfly reveal nature’s miniature works of art and provide access to acompletely new photographic world of possibility. If you’re new to this line of work,begin with easier image edits. Grains of salt, screws, model cars or even feathers areall fantastic macro photo objects worth displaying in full detail.I have a macro lens. Why do I need Focus projects 4 professional?You’ve undoubtedly come across the situation before. Zoom in on an object too closeand a focus depth at aperture 32 still isn’t large enough to display the entire object infull clarity. Small aperture sizes often leave brightness levels too low and diffractionclarity issues tend to arise resulting in reduced detail sharpness.Here, the Focus Stacking Method can help: This technical term describes the processof combining images with varying sharpness levels within a single image. Theresulting image computed in Focus projects 4 professional pieces together all infocusregions of each individual image onto one layer, thus displaying the entireimage in absolute clarity.15 photos have been taken for use in the following matchbox example.Displayed here are thefirst and last shots froman image series. In total,13 additional photostaken between the firstand last image wereneeded to display all ofthe matches in fullfocus.FRANZIS Verlag GmbH5
FOCUS projects 4 professional – user manualFocus projects 4 professional layers and precisely aligns all images and computes asingle image from the data. All relevant areas of the resulting image then receive thenecessary degree of focus.Tips for your first macro shots:Retro-AdapterThere’s absolutely no need to buy a new lens – just rotate your standard orwideangle lens. There is a wide range of priceworthy adapters available on themarket.Using ISOMake proper use of your camera’s wide range of ISO capabilities. ISO up to 2000 is noproblem for most new cameras.Use a TripodIt is almost impossible to hold the camera completely still in telephoto position. Hereyou should use a quality tripod and a remote release for your camera. Using a remoterelease for your camera ensures that your camera remains absolutely motionlessduring shutter release. Alternatively, you can also lean your camera against a stablesurface.More LightIf you wish to use shorter shutter speed and a greater depth of field, just add morelight. For this, you can use LED ring lights or a macro flash.Which aperture is the best?This question has no simple answer: This depends on the lens you’re using. Select theaperture which yields the best image performance when used together with yourpreferred lens. This is usually found somewhere between aperture 5, 6 and 11.FRANZIS Verlag GmbH6
