Focus stacking with live view

[Chris Breeze]

I've added a page to the website describing how to take pictures with huge depth of field by using a technique called focus stacking. It works by taking a series of photos with different focus settings and then running (free) software to combine the in focus areas of each image to give a single image with increased depth of field.

You can of course take the pictures with any camera but it is greatly simplified by running a script which automatically takes the photos using DSLR Remote Pro and a camera that supports live view (e.g. Canon EOS 40D or 1D Mark III).

For more details of this exciting technique please see the web page (http://www.breezesys.com/DSLRRemotePro/focus_stacking.htm)

Cool!

I think it would be great if you would add "focus bracketing" similar to this to the exposure bracketing you already have.

It would be easy to modify the script to do this. It's more flexible to do it using a script rather than trying to build it into DSLR Remote Pro as each shooting situation and lens combination will have different requirements.
