In The Yard – ITY14

The other evening while I was in the yard playing with my macro lens I decided to try out a cool feature. I have written about exposure bracketing before, which is a technique for increasing the dynamic range in an image, well my Olympus camera has focus bracketing as well.

After I set my exposure and my focus point the camera will adjust the depth of the focus above and below that point capturing an image at each slice. It will then combine all the images into a single image with a larger depth of focus than possible with a single exposure. You can read a better explanation of the technique here at Digital Photography School.
