Macro photography tip: use focus bracketing

This article was translated from Dutch with the help of AI. Read the original.

With macro photography, the depth of field is always small. Even when you choose a small aperture. There is also a risk that the background becomes too prominent. You can solve this with focus bracketing.

With focus bracketing, you take a series of photos in which the focus point is slightly further away in each photo. You can then combine these photos into an image with a greater depth of field. This is called focus stacking.

By using focus bracketing, it is even possible to keep the background blurred. You can also use this technique with a wide aperture.

Many cameras can perform focus bracketing automatically. Some can even combine the images into the final result automatically. You can also do it yourself with the right software.

Special software is available for this. But you can also do it in Photoshop, Luminar or Affinity. Choose the software you have and give it a try. Focus stacking opens up a whole new world.
